Growth and Appearance

Ideal Growing Conditions

- Soil: Prefers a well-draining, airy mix rich in organic matter, such as a blend of peat, orchid bark, and perlite.
- Watering: Keep soil moderately moist, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Humidity & Temperature: Prefers high humidity (60-80%) and warm temperatures (65-85°F / 18-29°C) for optimal growth.
- Fertilizing: A balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season encourages healthy growth and vibrant variegation.
