Essential Care :

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is critical. Avoid direct afternoon sun as it will easily scorch or fade the delicate foliage.
Watering: Use the “soak and dry” method. Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to completely dry out before watering thoroughly. This plant is highly sensitive to overwatering and prone to root rot.
Soil: Requires a highly porous, well-draining substrate. A mix of standard indoor potting soil heavily amended with perlite, pumice, or coarse sand works beautifully.
[Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in average room temperatures between 18°C and 25°C. It prefers elevated humidity levels (ideally above 50%), making it an ideal candidate for humid rooms or terrariums.
Safety: Completely non-toxic and safe to grow around curious cats, dogs, and children.
