Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the early morning or late afternoon, but avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
Watering Needs: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Ensure proper drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows down.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining, airy mix designed for epiphytic plants. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat or a specialized cactus mix is ideal for this species.
How to Fertilize: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilization in the fall and winter.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 10-12. Typically grown indoors or in containers in cooler climates.
Pet Safety: Generally considered non-toxic to pets, but it's still best to keep it out of reach to prevent any potential ingestion.
Additional Care Tips: Prune lightly to control size and shape, removing any damaged or unhealthy growth.
