• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments, ideally above 85%. It’s perfect for humid indoor spaces or terrariums.

• Watering: Maintain evenly moist soil, but avoid over-watering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, organic-rich soil. A mix of perlite with organic matter is ideal for moisture retention and aeration.
