☀️ Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while low light may slow growth.
💧 Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
💨 Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%) and warm temperatures between 20–28°C (68–82°F). Cold drafts may cause stress or leaf drop.
