Additional Tips*

This plant will benefit from a moss support or a coconut fiber support. Any type of support that can contribute to its growth pattern will help this plant reach maturity.

When this plant reaches maturity it tends to fenestrate.

This plant becomes semi dormant in winter so it will loose some leaves. Dont worry about it; it will bounce back on spring.

Use a well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of coconut fiber, perlite, pine bark, and activated charcoal. This ensures good aeration and prevents excess humidity.
