- Temperature: Prefers intermediate to warm conditions with temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F). Maintain consistent warmth with good air circulation for optimal growth.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60-80% with excellent air circulation to prevent fungal issues and support healthy growth.
