## CARE GUIDE
### Light
Thrives in medium to bright indirect light; avoid direct sun, which may scorch leaves. Can tolerate lower light but growth slows.
### Water
Allow the top 50–75% of soil to dry between waterings; water thoroughly and let excess drain. Overwatering causes root rot; reduce watering in winter.
### Humidity
Adaptable to average household humidity but appreciates higher humidity; mist occasionally or place near a pebble tray.
### Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix with peat and perlite or orchid bark. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
### Fertilizer
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. No feeding needed in winter.
### Temperature
Keep in temperatures between 60–80°F. Protect from drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F.
