Temperature - ideally around 26 degrees Celsius. Ideally, it should not be exposed to temperatures below 16 degrees or above 26 degrees Celsius. Temperatures below 16 degrees will hinder growth and flowering, while temperatures above 26 degrees Celsius can damage the flowers and leaves. Freezing temperatures must be avoided at all costs, as exposure to frost can be fatal.
Light - indirect sunlight is best. However, exposure to direct midday sun can burn the leaves, so ensure it is never exposed to strong, direct sunlight. If your plant is near a window with direct sun, cover the window with a thin curtain to block some of the light. If your plant receives too little light, it may stop flowering. A sign of insufficient light is a plant that produces many green leaves but no flowers.
Soil - any well-drained soil is suitable. You can use a mix containing bark, moss, and perlite. The key is to ensure your soil does not retain excess moisture. Too much moisture can cause root rot and other problems that can harm your plant.
Watering - water regularly, but make sure the water drains quickly from the pot. In tropical forests, these plants grow on trees. Although they receive daily rainwater, their roots are never in standing water because the water runs down the tree trunk and away from their roots. Since your plant is in a pot, you must ensure all water drains out, and the soil dries slightly but not completely before watering again.

Humidity - should be high but not excessive. Around 70-80% is ideal. Higher humidity can lead to greater fungal problems. Up to 50% is generally good. However, you may want to mist the leaves. Make sure they dry by evening to prevent fungal issues. If they do not dry by evening, this means the humidity is more than sufficient, and there is no need to mist your plants. At this humidity level, good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal growth.
