Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate lower light, but growth will be slower and the fenestrations (holes) may be less pronounced.
• Watering: The self-watering pot is a great help! Keep the reservoir filled. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. ¹ Mist the plant regularly, especially in dry indoor environments. A pebble tray with water or a humidifier can also be beneficial.  
• Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures (65-80°F / 18-27°C). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (15°C).
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix. Our self-watering pot system ensures proper drainage. A mix containing peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring/summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilizing in winter.
• Pruning: Prune to control size and shape, and to encourage bushier growth. You can propagate stem cuttings in water.
• Support: Provide a moss pole, trellis, or other support if you want the plant to climb.
