Soil: Use a very well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and compost for aeration.

Humidity: Requires high humidity (60% or above) for optimal leaf size and texture.

Temperature: Thrives between 18°C–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Maintenance: Maintain stable humidity and avoid frequent relocation to prevent leaf stress.
