CARE

Water roughly every 10-12 days when the soil has dried out from the top 2-3" and place it in a bright filtered light to dapple the direct sun. These plants thrive in well draining mix as it can help maintain a balance of constant moisture but avoiding over or under watering. These will also appreciate a higher ambient humidity!
