🔖 Care Tips

Hydroponic cultivation is possible. 1. Carefully remove soil from the roots without damaging them, and secure the roots with something like hydro balls for better growth. 2. Do not submerge the entire root system in water; keep only 50-60% submerged to allow the roots to breathe. 3. Use tap water that has been left out for a day, and store it in an opaque container rather than a transparent one, as light can change the temperature and harm the roots. 4. Change the water regularly every 7-14 days for maintenance.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant primarily grows in the tropical regions of Central and South America. It thrives in warm and humid environments.

🪨 Soil Mix

This plant naturally grows attached to trees. Therefore, it's best to plant it in slightly acidic soil with good aeration and drainage. A common mix is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, the ratio can vary depending on the conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

The ideal temperature is 15-20°C, with a minimum of 10°C. Humidity should be 40-70%. Since the plant likes a humid environment, increase humidity by misting or placing a water dish if it's dry. Ensure good ventilation to prevent mold, even if humidity is high.

👀 Characteristics details

This plant has thick leaves and stems, making it well-suited for dry environments. Be careful not to overwater it.

☀️ Light

Avoid direct sunlight and ensure the plant receives plenty of indirect light. Since plants grow towards the light, rotate the pot periodically for even growth. If there's insufficient light, the stems may weaken, so if the plant becomes leggy, move it to a brighter environment.

💧 Water

Water the plant when the surface soil is dry. If the leaves become thin or wrinkled, it's a sign of water deficiency, so water the plant.

🌱 Propagate

To propagate houseplants, use sterilized tools to cut a stem with at least one node at an angle. Let it dry for 3-4 hours, then place it in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant the cutting deeply in soil without fertilizer. After planting, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C. Alternatively, propagate using leaf cuttings. Plant a healthy leaf where it was attached to the stem in soil without fertilizer, or split the leaf and plant the split part in soil without fertilizer.

🪴 Repot

Repot every two years in spring, as it is not a fast grower.

💊 Fertilize

During the growing seasons of spring and summer, it is recommended to use fertilizer 1-2 times a month, adhering to the recommended dosage. Avoid fertilizing immediately after repotting; wait 2-4 weeks before applying fertilizer.

🌺 Flower

White flowers bloom at the stem tips for about 1-2 weeks from June to August. While they can bloom with sufficient light and the right temperature, it is difficult to see flowers when grown indoors.

😵 Toxicity

Non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
