Origin Brazil and other places. I like warm, humid and semi-cool environment. Because the plant is shade-tolerant, it is very suitable for indoor decoration, beautification and greening of families. It can be kept in a bright room for a long time and in a dark room for 4-6 weeks, which has little effect on its growth, so it can be kept in a dark room for a long time and can grow well.
