Care Notes:
* Temperature: Room temperature (65-78°F / 18-26°C) is generally ideal.
* Humidity: Provide a moisture gradient with a damp (not wet) area, such as sphagnum moss, and a drier side. They are fairly drought-tolerant.
* Substrate: A good quality organic substrate mix with plenty of leaf litter and decaying wood is essential.
