- Plant Type
- Evergreen eiphiphyte
- Size (HxW)
- Various, see plant label.
- Depth & Spacing
- Plant at the same depth as in the pot with the roots spread evenly below the soil surface. Don’t put in too large a pot, they are happier being a bit pot bound, and don’t have a large root system, if put in a large pot they may struggle.
- Soil
- Use a good quality cactus/succulent mix. You could also use an orchid mix. Or a blend of both.
- Aspect
- Filtered light, protect from hot afternoon sun. Bright, indirect light is ideal. They can grow well in offices with fluro lights, for 8-10 hours a day.
- Climate
- Cool to Tropical
- Frost
- Tender
- Water
- Water well, then allow the pot to dry out before watering again. They do not like to sit in water. They will cope with a fair amount of neglect, and you will know you have forgotten about them as they shrivel and turn brown/red, but don’t despair, they will quickly pep up when you apologise and add a good dose of water. More water needed spring/summer and winter requires less care. They can be sensitive to the chemicals in tap water, so ideally let the water sit out overnight, or use filtered/distilled water.
- Fertiliser
- Ideally add a diluted, cactus/succulent (or any really) liquid fertiliser every other week spring/summer this will get them flowering and growing to their best.
- Flowering Time
- Spring to summer
- After Flower Care
- Not required
- Notes
- Ensure the pot you choose has good drainage holes. Rotate the pot regularly for even growth.
