Growing tips:
- Grows well at warm temperatures and in high humidity. They like bright light but not direct sunlight. This variety will not perform well in poor light conditions. The soil HAS to be well drained. If they are being put in pots - arranging a few broken pot pieces at the bottom will aid in drainage. Adding sand in potting mix is also a good idea. Plants with climbing habit do well on moss stick support.
As moss is a banned item in India - we at indiaplants.com use and recommend coir. This is cheaper and equally effective.
