Growing Tips

• Bright, diffused light and high humidity are ideal
• Colour deepens with warm days and cool nights
• Grow in a ventilated container with drainage – avoid standing water
• Use shredded long-fibre sphagnum moss mixed with perlite for best results
• Mist regularly with distilled or RO water – clean water is critical
• Press heads gently into moist substrate with tips exposed

🌿 Cultivo exclusive • Packed to order • Available online only

• Because Cultivo is a boutique-style store, most of our collector’s plants are one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” or limited seasonal releases. That means once they’re sold, they’re gone - so standard restock notifications aren’t practical here
• A few seasonal plants or variants of small-batch releases may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
