-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
-
Temperature: 55–72°F (13–22°C); an intermediate-cool grower that appreciates cooler nights to initiate blooming.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues while maintaining moisture around the roots.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a well-draining bark-based mix in a slatted basket or clay pot to promote air circulation around the roots. Shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt to your growing conditions.
