• Light: Prefers moderate, filtered light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided, particularly during peak afternoon hours, as intense rays can cause leaf burn and result in irreversible foliar damage.
• Temperature: Flourishes in intermediate temperature ranges. Optimal daytime conditions should maintain 18-24°C (65-75°F), with nighttime temperatures dropping to 13-18°C (55-65°F) .
• Humidity: Demands elevated humidity levels, optimally maintained between 60-80%. Superior air movement remains crucial to prevent pathogenic fungal conditions.
• Watering: Requires unwavering moisture consistency. Successful cultivation involves utilizing freely-draining substrate materials while maintaining steady moisture levels. The growing medium must never be permitted to become completely desiccated.
