ð§ How to Water
Never let it dry out: mist or water with chlorine-free water (rain or filtered) every 1-2 days outside a closed container. In a closed terrarium, just check the moisture every few days. Don't leave standing water covering it; it doesn't like being submerged.
âïļ Lighting
Low to moderate light or shade, like a streambank in woodland. Direct sun dries and scorches it; indoors, use indirect light or a gentle terrarium LED.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
It needs no real soil: it grows on porous stone (sandstone), damp earth or decaying wood, acidic or lime-rich. In a terrarium, use a stone or bark base over moist soil with good drainage.
