🌿 Basic Care Tips:
• Use a chunky, well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir) to keep roots healthy.
• Maintain humidity between 60–80% for the best color and growth.
• Keep temperatures warm—above 65°F—and protect from cold drafts.
• Wipe leaves occasionally to enhance their sheen and help with photosynthesis.
