Care:
Place in bright but indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves.
Keep the substrate slightly moist. Water in the centre rosette and make sure water does not pool in the centre to prevent rotting.
Prefer temperatures between 15-28 °C. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
Use a well-drained substrate, such as orchid mix, to avoid waterlogging.
Feed with a diluted balanced fertiliser every 2-3 months during the growing season.
Clean the leaves regularly to maintain its decorative appearance and allow for better photosynthesis.
