Temperature
Warm-growing species:
Day: 75-85ยฐF (24-29ยฐC)

Requires 60-80% relative humidity.
Use a humidity tray, misting system, or humidifier.
Provide air movement (small fan or gentle airflow) to prevent fungal problems.
๐ฑ 2. Potting & Medium

Plastic or clay pots with good drainage.
Some growers prefer net pots or baskets for airflow.

Fine bark
Perlite
Charcoal
Optional: a small amount of sphagnum moss
Repot every 1-2 years, preferably in spring, before active growth begins.

Water when the top 1 inch of medium feels slightly dry.
