    Care Tips

    Grows well in bright indirect light with good air circulation and humidity. Despite originating from seasonally dry forests, this species performs best with regular watering in cultivation. Ensure thorough drying after watering. Slow growing, potentially requiring 10 to 12 years to reach blooming size from seed. Benefits from being surrounded by other plants to maintain ambient humidity.
