Water: This plant prefers consistently moist soil, but it is essential to avoid waterlogging. Ensure the soil drains well, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Light: It does best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause the leaves to scorch.

Humidity: Steudnera kerrii thrives in high humidity, making it suitable for rooms like bathrooms or environments where humidity is easily maintained. Mist regularly or use a humidifier to provide optimal conditions.

Temperature: The ideal temperature range for this plant is between 18C and 25C. It should be kept away from cold drafts and not exposed to temperatures below 15C.
