Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch its leaves.
- Water: Keep the central cup filled with fresh, non-chlorinated water, emptying and refilling it weekly. Lightly mist the leaves and water the soil sparingly, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; ideal for bathrooms or use a humidifier. Regular misting will also help maintain the desired moisture level.
- Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18–24°C. Keep away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.
- Fertilizer: Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season, applied to the soil or into the plant's central cup. Avoid over-fertilizing.
- Repotting: Rarely needed; repot into a slightly larger container when offsets outgrow the pot.
