Shell ginger thrives in environments that mimic its native tropical habitat. A key special care point is ensuring high humidity levels, either through regular misting or placement in naturally humid areas, such as bathrooms. Bright, indirect light is also crucial for optimal growth and the health of shell ginger, but direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf burn. With attention to humidity and light, shell ginger is generally considered easy to care for, making it accessible for most plant enthusiasts.
