 Aer. maculosa does well in basket or slotted pot in a variety of well drained media with roots exposed. The media can consist of 3 charcoal and 1 part brickbats. Coconut husk chips are best avoided as they tend to retain excess water and rot easily leading to re-potting frequently.

 Like Vandas, Aerides require diffused bright light to bloom well. These are very hardy plants which can tolerate dry spells. They are best grown in east facing spot, avoiding overhead sun light. For good growth, the plant should be fed weekly with a weak solution of NPK (20-20-20). Care should be taken to avoid leaving the fertilizer in direct contact with the roots for too long.

 If grown without any media, the plant should be soaked thoroughly on a daily basis. Avoid spraying either fertilizer or the insecticide on the flowers.
