General Care Requirements
-
Light: Bright, Indirect Light — Thrives in soft, filtered sunlight. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight to prevent scorching the delicate velvety leaves.
-
Watering: Moderate Moisture — Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Keep the medium consistently moist, but ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
-
Soil & Substrate: Chunky, Well-Draining Mix — Requires an airy, highly porous potting blend (such as a mix of orchid bark, perlite, peat moss, and charcoal) to provide maximum aeration to the roots.
-
Temperature & Humidity: Warmth & High Humidity — Prefers stable temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. Performs best in elevated humidity levels (>50–60%) to prevent leaf crisping and encourage large leaf growth.
-
Fertilization: Apply Bajanas fertilizer once every 3 months to support steady growth and strong foliage development.
