Care Instructions:
To keep your Fluttery Friends thriving, opt for bright, indirect light. They’re tropical, so they do love a bit of humidity—consider misting them occasionally or placing a humidity tray nearby. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; they are more likely to sulk from overwatering rather than being too dry. Aim to keep this beauty cozy in temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C). Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring and summer).
