Planting and Hardening Tips:

1. Planting: Gently remove plants from the tissue culture cup, rinsing off any remaining gel with clean water. Plant in a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix—ideally peat-based with added perlite.
2. Hardening: Keep plants in a covered environment or humidity dome initially, gradually introducing them to open-air conditions over 1-2 weeks. Begin by lifting the cover slightly each day, allowing the plants to adapt to lower humidity levels.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light conditions.
• Water: Maintain consistently moist soil without overwatering.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; mist regularly or keep near a humidifier for best results.
• Temperature: Optimal range between 18–24°C; avoid cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Begin your journey and watch as these vibrant, young plants grow into a stunning addition to your indoor oasis, creating a calming, natural atmosphere with their gentle movements and lush foliage.
