Caring for plants, a bright light Indoors it's recommend no further than 10 feet from a window. Outdoors under a tree or shaded area is ideal. Partial sun for an hour or so should be okay,avoid all day sun.

It needs to be watered regularly, at least 2 to 3 times per week. Misting is generally not sufficient, it needs to be watered to the point of runoff, AT LEAST twice a week. Immerse the whole plant in the sink or a bucket if possible, if not, use a hose. Your plant will appreciate a good soaking for several hours every one to two weeks. Although if blooming, never submerge flowers for more than a few seconds.Shake out any excess water, the plant wants to dry out by nightfall. Do not over soak by leaving them in water. Shake off any excess water from plants. Give thin leafs an extra spray on their tips as they dry out faster.

Questions & Comments

Do the leaves on it grow up or do they like to curl around the roots? I have bunch glued in various shells and cute tiny pots. Whats the maximum temperature they can handle? I'd love to put some in a reptile terrarium but on hot days it can get up to 85 in there with 50-70 percent humidity. Im assuming the heat lamp will fry them tho :(

They can handle a good 98+ and the more the humidity the better. The leaves grow out straight. They do fine in a reptile cage. And, the lizards love them. The only thing is I would not use glue on them as it can damage the roots which will kill them.

Thanks! :D I used E6000 on them, they're all doing well and flowering. Just have to be careful about water getting trapped inside the shells. My terrarium has a large piece of wood with knot holes in it so they would sit perfect and the roots will eventually take hold. They really are neat lil plants.

It's good to hear that they are doing so well. I think they will do just fine in your terrarium.
