Quick Care Guidelines
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight or dappled shade. Direct midday sun can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Submerge in room-temperature water for 20–30 minutes once a week, or mist generously.
- Drying: Always shake off excess water and leave the plant upside down on a towel to dry completely within a few hours to prevent rot.
- Environment: Ideal temperature is 18°C – 30°C. Protect it from frost if kept outdoors.
