Native to: Tropical rainforests of Ecuador.

Water: Maintain consistently moist soil, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the potting mix drains well. During winter months, reduce watering frequency to accommodate slower growth.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause leaf scorch, while insufficient light may result in leggy growth. Placing the plant near an east or north-facing window is ideal.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments, ideally between 60% and 80%. Regular misting, the use of a humidifier, or placing the pot on a tray with water and pebbles can help maintain adequate humidity levels. Its preference for elevated humidity makes it suitable for terrarium cultivation.

Temperature: Favors warm indoor temperatures ranging from 18°C to 26°C. Protect the plant from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, as it is sensitive to cold. Ensure indoor temperatures do not drop below 15°C to maintain healthy growth.
