🪴Care Guide

• ☀️ Light & Temperature: Provide bright, indirect light near an east- or west-facing window. Use the leaves as a guide: they should be a healthy light lime-green color (dark green means it needs more light, while yellow/red means too much sun). Thrives in warm daytime temperatures between 24°C and 30°C, with a slight drop at night to stimulate blooming.

• 💧 Watering & Dry-Out Cycle: Follow a strict dry-out cycle. Water thoroughly, then let the potting medium dry out almost completely before watering again. Never let the roots sit in stagnant water to protect against root rot.

• 🌡️ Humidity & Microclimate: Aim for a high humidity target between 50% and 70%. In dry rooms, easily increase moisture by placing the pot on a shallow tray filled with pebbles and water, ensuring the bottom of the pot never touches the actual water level.
