🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal: Bright, indirect light to encourage vibrant blooms

• Tolerates: Medium light, but flowering may reduce

• Avoid: Direct sunlight (can scorch leaves) and very low light (may stunt growth)

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy

• Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry

• Tip: Avoid letting water sit in the crown of the plant to prevent rot; use filtered or rainwater if possible

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining, airy mix (aroid mix with peat, orchid bark, and perlite works well)

• Pot: Medium to deep pots with drainage; avoid compact soil

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength

• Avoid: Over-fertilizing, which can burn roots or damage foliage

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and spent flowers to encourage new growth

• Repot: Every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Mist regularly or use a humidifier if air is dry

• Temperature: 18–28°C (65–82°F); sensitive to drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F)
