  2. Where to Plant: Containers or mounted on bark or driftwood
  3. Soil Preparation: Mix equal parts peat moss, perlite, and coarse bark
  4. Plant Spacing: Allow for 12-18 inches between plants to ensure proper air circulation

  4. Pests: Keep an eye out for mealybugs, scale insects, and spider mites; treat with insecticidal soap as needed

  2. Light: Place in a bright, indirectly lit location; avoid direct sunlight
  3. Pruning: Remove dead or yellowing leaves as needed; trim off spent flower stalks
