bright indirect light (3-6 feet from a south or west window, or right next to an east window. Under a grow light, 6-10 inches away works well) is preferred. It tolerates lower light but produces smaller, less dramatic leaves. Too much direct sun (right in the window where sun actually hits the leaves. A strong grow light 4-6 inches away can substitute) scorches the leaf edges.

Prefers high humidity (60-80%. Group your plants together, set them on a pebble tray with water, or run a humidifier nearby) (50%+) and will tolerate it up to 90%. Crispy brown leaf edges indicate air that is too dry. A humidifier or pebble tray helps in dry indoor environments.

Rich, well-draining, aerated potting mix. A blend of peat or coco coir, compost, perlite, and orchid bark works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Spider mites and mealybugs are common pests. Root rot from overwatering is the main disease risk. Wear gloves when pruning - the sap can cause contact dermatitis. Yellowing leaves typically signal overwatering or nutrient deficiency.
