Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun as it can easily scorch the delicate foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e💧 Water Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater thoroughly only when the top 2-3 inches of the growing medium have completely dried out. This plant is susceptible to root rot if left in soggy soil, so ensuring a well-draining pot and aerated substrate (like an orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir mix) is absolutely essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e📏 Size \u0026amp; Growth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis starter plant is shipped in a compact jiffy plug, measuring approximately 10-15 cm in height.
