- Growing Difficulty
- Advanced
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 30-60cm
- Temperature
- 5〜22℃
- Watering
- Insects (auto-capture)
- Light & Placement
- Strong direct sun and cool conditions are essential. Give it full sun but place it where the root zone stays cool.
- Watering
- Avoid tray watering; pour cold purified water or rainwater from above, or grow it in flowing water. Keeping the roots constantly cooled is the key.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 5-22°C. In summer the root zone must be cooled below 15°C, which is the biggest challenge in cultivation.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use sphagnum moss alone as the medium. Keep it well drained and airy so the roots never get stuffy.
- Pests & Cautions
- Its greatest enemy is heat at the root zone in summer. Neglect cooling measures such as flushing with cold water and it declines quickly.
