Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light to semi-shade. Too much sun, and you risk scorching the poor plant.
Watering: Water when the top 20% has dried out in summer and in winter water when the top 50% of soil has dried out. If keeping out of soil, mist every few days. This species is sensitive to tap water, so filtered or rainwater is best.
Temperature: 15-32°C is an ideal range for these plants, and don't let this beauty go below 12°C
Potting: This plant is an epiphyte (grows on other plants) in the wild. We recommend a chunky well draining mix to mimic its natural habitat. Our Airy Aroid mix should do the trick, or you could even mount this plant to a piece of driftwood or cork to showcase it in its natural element. Just be sure to be mindful to give it a bit more water if you decide to mount your plant.
Hot tips: Humidity will really keep this plant happy. Great for a terrarium, bathroom or grouped amongst other plant friends.
Pet Friendly: yes
