Origin: Native to Southeast Asia, I thrive in warm and humid climates.
Light: Bright, indirect light is perfect for me. I can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but avoid harsh midday sun.
Watering: Water me thoroughly when the top few inches of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. Use a mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark to provide good drainage and aeration for my roots.
Fertilization: Feed me with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). I can also be fed in Summer with an orchid fertiliser to encourage flowering.
Pruning: Trim any leggy or unruly growth to maintain my shape and encourage bushy growth. You can also remove any yellowing or dead leaves as needed.
Propagation: I can be propagated from stem cuttings or by air layering.
Pests/Diseases: Keep an eye out for pests like mealybugs and spider mites, especially in warm and dry conditions. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap.
