Prefers bright, indirect light for blooming.
Can tolerate medium light, but flowers may be fewer.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves.
Water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Keep soil slightly moist but not waterlogged.
Reduce watering during winter dormancy.
Use lukewarm, filtered, or rainwater to avoid leaf damage.
Temperature & Humidity
Ideal temperature: 18–27°C (65–80°F).
Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Loves high humidity (60%+) – mist leaves, use a pebble tray, or a humidifier.
Soil & Potting
Grows best in a well-draining, airy mix – potting soil + orchid bark + perlite.
Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the container.
Fertilizing
Feed every 6–8 weeks during spring and summer with a phosphorus-rich fertilizer to encourage flowering.
Avoid over-fertilizing, which can burn roots.
Pruning & Maintenance
Remove faded flowers and yellow leaves at the base.
Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to maintain shine and remove dust.
Propagation
Best propagated by division during repotting.
Gently separate rooted sections and plant in smaller pots.
Common Problems & Solutions
Brown leaf tips → Low humidity or chemicals in water.
Yellow leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage.
No blooms → Not enough light or improper fertilization.
Pests (aphids, mealybugs) → Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
