Know before you buy
No, this is an epiphyte, meaning it absorbs nutrients and moisture through its leaves rather than its roots. It should never be planted in soil, as this can cause the plant to rot.
To keep your plant hydrated, soak it in a bowl of water for 20 to 30 minutes once a week. After soaking, gently shake off excess water and place it in a well-ventilated area to dry completely before returning it to its display.
Yes, it thrives outdoors in USDA hardiness zone 9. If you live in a colder climate, ensure you bring it inside before temperatures drop, as it is not frost-tolerant.
This variety thrives in bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
While the mother plant will remain roughly 5-7 inches wide, it will eventually produce 'pups' or offsets at its base. You can leave these attached to create a larger cluster or carefully remove them to propagate new individual plants.
