6. Light Requirements

7. Watering Needs
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil dries out; maintain even moisture but avoid waterlogging; reduce frequency in winter.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining mix of peat moss or coco coir, perlite or orchid bark; ideal pH 5.5–7.0. Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

Low to moderate care. Prune yellow or damaged leaves; rotate plant periodically for even growth; wipe leaves to remove dust and maintain sheen.
