☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain deep colour and velvety texture

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth may slow

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate leaves

💧 Water

• Keep soil evenly moist, but never soggy

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feel dry

• Use a chunky, airy mix (bark, sphagnum moss, perlite) to protect the roots

🌫️ Humidity

• Loves high humidity (70–85%) for lush, regal leaves

• Mist gently or use a humidifier to keep air moisture high

• Dry air can cause crisping or leaf droop

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer

• Pause feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Provide a moss pole or support — this Queen loves to climb gracefully

• Wipe leaves carefully with a soft cloth to maintain their velvet sheen

• Not pet-safe — keep out of reach of cats and dogs
