As it originates from tropical rain forests, it loves humid and warm conditions. A range of 18 to 30 degrees Celsius is the most perfect humidity for this beautiful plant. If you have a location that doesn't have high humidity, use a tray filled with water and gravel to keep the plant fresh and moist.
Fertilizing

Fertilization is typically performed during the growing season, when the plant is actively growing before entering dormancy. Use a half-strength balanced liquid fertilizer. Apply at least once a month to promote faster stem and leaf growth. High-salt products should be avoided because they will cause root problems.
