Secrets of Success

• LIGHT: Medium to high light indoors.
• WATER: Regular heavy misting of leaves; empty water from "vase" monthly; water soil only when very dry.
• FERTILIZER: Feed monthly with diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer in misting sprayer.
• HUMIDITY: Thrives with misting, pebble tray, or grouping with other houseplants.
• TEMPERATURE: Normal indoor temps; need above 75°F to bring back into flower.

Light Requirements

• High Light Indoors, Medium Light Indoors

Grow in a well-draining epiphytic mix. Keep the central vase filled with water, flushing monthly. Mist leaves daily in dry indoor air. Avoid cold drafts. After bloom, remove spent spike and watch for pups at the base.
