Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause leaf burn.
• Watering: Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity levels (60%+). Regular misting, pebble trays, or a humidifier can help maintain optimal conditions.
• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining, aerated mix containing orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss for optimal root health.
• Fertilising: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every four weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.
• Support: Providing a moss pole or trellis will support its climbing nature and promote larger foliage development.
