Care Tips (Beginner-Friendly) Light Prefers bright indirect light to shade. Ideal for north- or east-facing windows; tolerates lower light but veins are most prominent with filtered brightness. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent scorching.
Soil Use loose, rich, well-draining aroid mix (add perlite, orchid bark, or peat for aeration). Slightly acidic soil preferred.
Watering Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged – water thoroughly when top 2-3 cm feels dry. Use filtered or rainwater if possible to avoid mineral buildup.
Fertilizer Apply diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring-summer growth. Reduce in winter.
Humidity Tip Requires high humidity (60%+); mist frequently, use a pebble tray or humidifier – excels in Hong Kong's humid climate or bathrooms.
