Direct sun can scorch the leaves but if it's too shady, it will grow much more slowly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eKeep your plant's soil slightly moist. This means water when the top inch or so of soil feels dry, so that the middle never totally dries but the plant is not drenched all the time. Use lukewarm water so you don't shock the plant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis plant needs high humidity. It will prefer 70-90% humidity, which will help its leaves grow healthy and fabulous. A glass cabinet, like a large terrarium, will be a good environment; you can also use a humidifier or a pebble tray to increase local humidity around your plant. If you prefer misting, take care as wet leaves can develop fungal issues if they don't dry out quick enough.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eUse a well-draining, chunky aroid mix.
