• Light: Bright indirect light to partial shade. Thrives under 40-60% shade cloth or in dappled sunlight similar to cloud forest conditions.
• Temperature: Cool to intermediate. Daytime 64-77°F (18-25°C), nighttime 54-64°F (12-18°C). Prefers consistent moderate temperatures with slight day-night variation.
• Humidity: 60-80% with good air circulation. Moderate to high humidity is beneficial; ensure adequate ventilation to prevent fungal issues.
