Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves. Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. This plant prefers slightly moist soil but can tolerate brief periods of dryness. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage. Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels and will thrive with regular misting or in a humid environment.

A mix designed for aroids or a standard houseplant mix with added perlite or orchid bark works well. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the cooler months.
