O think they like shade. Don’t overwater them. They are beautiful.

Thank you

Proper soil mix helps too if you replant them. We’ll-draining, coco husk, slight acidic, moss, perlite, and maybe some orchid mix.

I have coco peat (I’m assuming that’s also coco husk?) , orchid bark, perlite, and soil with worm castings

Coco peat is made from coco husk but coco husk is more chunky than a regular soil and similar to orchid bark.
