Watering

• When to Water: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry.
• How to Water: Use filtered or rainwater to avoid mineral build-up, and ensure the soil drains well to prevent root rot.

Humidity

• Tips: Use a humidifier, mist regularly, or place near a pebble tray to maintain high humidity.

Temperature

• Ideal Range: 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Soil

• Type: A well-draining aroid mix made from orchid bark, perlite, and coconut coir or peat moss.

Fertiliser
