• Light: Bright, filtered light with protection from direct sunlight. Maintain consistent light for healthy growth, and avoid leaf burn from intense rays.
• Temperature: Warmer temperatures are best, ideally between 20-28°C (68-82°F) during the day. Consistent warmth is key for this tropical plant.
• Humidity: High humidity levels of 70-85% with excellent air circulation to prevent fungal issues and replicate natural rainforest conditions.
• Watering: Water frequently to maintain consistent moisture in the growing medium. Ensure excellent drainage while keeping the plant hydrated, as epiphytes require constant but not waterlogged conditions.
