Know before you buy
This plant is attached to a substrate, such as wood or bark, rather than being planted in a traditional pot with soil. It is intended to be displayed vertically or hung, mimicking how it would naturally grow on trees in the wild.
Because it is mounted, the plant needs a high-humidity environment, such as a terrarium or a greenhouse setup. It requires consistent moisture and good air circulation to prevent the roots from drying out or rotting.
You should mist the plant regularly or gently soak the mounting base to ensure the roots stay hydrated. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
This specimen is best suited for collectors who have experience maintaining terrariums or high-humidity environments. Because it is mounted, it requires more attentive care and specific environmental monitoring than a standard potted succulent.
It is not recommended. The plant is established on its mount, and removing it can cause significant stress or damage to the root system. It is designed to be displayed exactly as it arrives.
