-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the narrow leaves.
-
Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate to warm grower that benefits from slight nighttime temperature drops.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent moisture around the roots promotes vigorous growth and prolific flowering.
