• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light with filtered sunlight. Provide adequate brightness while protecting delicate juvenile foliage from direct sun exposure.
• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions with temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Maintain consistent warmth and protect from temperature fluctuations for optimal development.
• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 70-80% with good air circulation to support healthy growth and prevent leaf browning.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but well-draining during growing season. Allow slight drying between waterings and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
• Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.
