This plant is large, displaying 70 cm in width and 60 cm in depth. It is mounted on driftwood and is actively growing. If you need it shipped to you, please note that it will only fit in an XL parcel box, which incurs a postage cost of around $65.
Care Information Light:
Bright, indirect light is ideal, with some morning sun being beneficial. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves, but ensure adequate brightness for healthy growth.
Water:
Mist thoroughly 2-3 times per week, or soak for 20-30 minutes once a week. Ensure excellent air circulation after watering to prevent rot, and reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Humidity:
Optimal humidity ranges from 50-70%. Good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues whilst maintaining adequate moisture levels.
Temperature:
Ideal temperature range is 15-27°C, with a minimum of 10°C. Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Soil:
No soil required - this is an epiphytic air plant that absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves.
Support:
Mount on driftwood, cork bark, or display in hanging arrangements. Ensure good air circulation around the entire plant.
Fertiliser:
Feed monthly with diluted
GT Foliage applied as a mist during the growing season.
