 Light

• Bright, indirect light is best

• Avoid harsh direct sun—it can fade or crisp the tiny turtle-patterned leaves

• Low light = slow, sparse growth

 Water

• Keep soil lightly moist but NEVER soggy

• Let the top 1 inch dry before watering again

• Overwatering = yellow, mushy leaves

• Underwatering = crispy edges and shriveled “turtles”

 Temperature

• Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C)

• Sensitive to cold—don’t let it dip under 60°F

 Humidity

• Enjoys moderate to high humidity

• Perfect for bathrooms or near a humidifier

• Light misting is okay, but not necessary

 Soil

• Light, airy, chunky soil is key

• Best mix: potting soil + orchid bark + perlite

• Avoid thick, compact, or heavy mixes

 Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer

• Use a diluted balanced fertilizer

• No feeding in fall/winter

 Pruning & Growth

• Trim leggy strands for a fuller plant

• Cuttings root easily—just place on top of moist soil

 Repotting

• Every 1–2 years, but it likes being a little snug

• Go up one pot size max

 Pests

• Watch for fungus gnats, mealybugs, and spider mites

• Good airflow + proper watering keeps pests away
