💧 Watering & Humidity:

Watering and humidity are key to keeping this tropical stunner happy.

• 💧 Water when the top inch of soil feels dry — keep it consistently moist but not soggy

• 🚿 Use a pot with good drainage to avoid root rot

• ❄️ Reduce watering in colder months when growth slows

Humidity:

• 🧴 Mist regularly or place near a humidifier for best results
