• Light: Full sun.
• Potting medium: Peat and perlite, or pure peat.
• Watering: Use the tray method during active growth; provide less water during winter dormancy.
• Feeding: Fish food or bugs every 3–4 weeks, following the included care instructions.
• Humidity: 50–85%.
• Temperature: 65–80°F in spring and summer; 35–55°F in colder months.
