The plant thrives in warm, humid environments and should be watered regularly, allowing the roots to dry slightly between watering sessions. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues and keeps the leaves healthy. Fertilizing every few weeks during the growing season encourages strong canes and more abundant flowers.
