Know before you buy
This medium-sized specimen typically measures between 5 to 6 inches in width and 3 to 5 inches in height, making it a substantial centerpiece for most tabletops or shelves.
You should provide the plant with bright, indirect light and a weekly soak in water. After soaking, ensure the plant dries completely upside down to prevent water from pooling in the center, which can cause rot.
The specialized fertilizer is designed to be mixed into your water during the soaking process. Using it once or twice a month provides the necessary nutrients to support healthy growth and encourage future blooms.
No, the Xerographica is an epiphyte, meaning it absorbs moisture and nutrients through its leaves rather than its roots. It does not require soil and can be displayed on decorative surfaces, in glass terrariums, or mounted on wood.
Yes, with proper care and sufficient bright, indirect light, the Xerographica can produce a spectacular, long-lasting bloom spike. Keep in mind that blooming is a natural part of the plant's life cycle and typically occurs once the plant reaches maturity.
