Care:
-
Light:
- It prefers bright indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves.
- It is also suitable for spaces with filtered light, such as those near an east or west-facing window.
-
Temperature:
- It grows well at temperatures between 18-28°C. Avoid temperatures below 15°C, as it may suffer damage from cold.
- Ensure a constant temperature, without sudden variations.
-
Moisture:
- It requires high humidity, preferably above 60%. Use a humidifier or periodically spray the leaves with non-calcareous water.
- Positioning it near other tropical plants can create a favorable microclimate.
-
Watering:
- Water regularly, keeping the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
- Use rainwater or demineralized water to avoid salt accumulation in the soil.
-
Soil:
- It prefers a well-drained, aerated soil rich in organic matter. An orchid or epiphyte mix, combined with peat and perlite, is ideal.
- Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
-
Fertilization:
- Apply a liquid fertilizer for tropical or epiphytic plants once a month during the active growth period (spring and summer).
- Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter months.
-
Leaf care:
- Wipe the leaves periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
- Avoid using leaf polish solutions, which can block pores.
