- Soil: Thrives in well-draining potting soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing the plant in a humid room can help it thrive.
