Care

General Maintenance: Can be repotted annually if the plant has become quite rootbound.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures. Ideally, keep at room temperature (around 20°C - 23°C). Keep above 10°C or they will go into dormancy.

Light: Full and partial shade, as direct sunlight will burn the leaves. Bright, indirect light is best.

Watering: Water frequently based on the season. This plant prefers its soil to be kept moist (but not soggy). In the winter they do not need as much water as they will during the growing season.

Fertilizer: Fertilize in spring and summer seasons. Can use compost or a liquid fertilizer.

Soil: Use a well draining soil. This can be achieved by using a general peat-based soil and adding perlite or orchid bark to create aeration for the roots.
