Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Insufficient light may result in slower growth and reduced flowering.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. While it can adapt to average indoor humidity, increasing humidity through occasional misting or using a humidity tray can promote healthier growth.
Temperature: Favours temperatures between 1824C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid exposure to temperatures below 15C.
