CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these care tips to keep your pretty turtle happy and healthy.

Light: Bright, filtered light is best with some direct morning sunlight.
Watering: Keep the plant just moist to the touch, allowing it to reach 50% dryness before watering again.
Humidity: This plant loves humidity but will tolerate some dry air. If you notice crisping, place a pebble tray or relocate to a bright bathroom or kitchen. Do not allow water to sit on the leaves for long periods of time.
Fertiliser: Feed every 2 weeks with a balanced fertiliser; use organic for best results.
