Description
It takes medium to high levels of light to bloom and lots of humidity and warmth. The more humidity and warmth, the longer and broader the leaves grow. It looks beautiful mounted to wood or a tree or in a hanging basket. It enjoys drying out before being watered again and grows well in a well-draining medium of orchid bark and perlite if you wish to pot it.
