 The waterings must be regular and abundant during the growth period, with frequent nebulisations to the roots, somewhat reduced in winter, avoiding water stagnations at the axil of the new leaves to avoid easy rottenness. Watering and nebulisations are to be done using rainwater, demineralized or by reverse osmosis. If hung the roots must be watered frequently.

Fertilizer:

 For the fertilizations, at intervals of 1-2 weeks during the growth period, it is advisable the use of hydro-soluble balanced products, with microelements, at ¼ of the dosage suggested by the producer on the package.

Plants are best mounted.

Repot:

 The repottings are to be done when strictly necessary, by the vegetative restart, trying to not too much disturb the roots.
