These are tough one I have 2 but they are small. They need extremely high humidity to stay pretty. 60-80% or else they get crispy dried out leaves. As long as you keep the humidity high and the temp between 60-80 degrees.
NEVER expose them to temps below 50 degrees.
Use well draining soil. I keep mine in:
1/3 peat moss
1/3 perlite
1/3 orchid bark
And they are close to my humidifier. You want their soil moist but not wet.
Avoid direct sun from 10-2 it will burn their leaves.
Also, check them regularly for spider mites, they love these plants and are attracted to their scent.
Congrats on your new plants they are beautiful! 🩷

@gothgardener I’m not familiar with these so sorry but #TheThread #brunchataudreys and especially @SuperbRaspfern @princesspitstop @SweetAzurebluet might have ideas. Blessings
@SuperbRaspfern awesome thank you so so much I will take this into consideration!!! I was already thinking about bringing them inside for winter that’s why I kept them in pots for now
@gothgardener Perfect 🩷
