Ben's tips on plant care:

- Location/light requirements: Shaded
- Substrate: sphagnum moss, Orchid soil, well-drained houseplant soil
- Temperature: optimal at 15-18° C (day), 10-14° C (night)
- Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water approx. every 7-10 days when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm, low-lime water, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, use a humidifier or place in the bathroom or terrarium
- Addition of nutrients: In spring/summer, water only moderately with liquid fertilizer approx. every 2-4 weeks.
- Ensure even watering, as the plant does not tolerate waterlogging or complete drying out
