Native to Costa Rica,

Native to: Costa Rica, at elevations between 300 and 1,000 meters.

Water: Maintain evenly moist soil, allowing the top third of the potting mix to dry out between waterings. Ensure the potting medium is well-draining to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light may result in leggy growth.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. In drier indoor environments, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water to increase ambient moisture.

Temperature: Favours temperatures between 18C to 29C. Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature changes to maintain its health.
