Cultivation Instructions:

1. Planting: Sow the seeds in a well-draining potting mix. Press the seeds lightly into the surface without covering them, as they require light to germinate.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Use distilled or rainwater to prevent chemical buildup that can cause leaf browning.

3. Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

4. Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels (60-70%) by misting the plant regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water.

5. Temperature: Keep in a warm environment between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature changes.

6. Maintenance: Clean leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep the foliage vibrant. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
