Special Care Instructions

Provide well-draining peat based or coco based potting medium. They don't like to stay dry for long periods of time so only allow the top couple inches to dry out between waterings. High humidity of 60%-75% works best fo this plant, so if your home is particularly dry a humiifier or pebble tray is best. Place near a East or South facing window and avoid direct sun rays.
