Ben's tips on plant care:

- We recommend keeping the cuttings in moist sphagnum moss until they have formed roots. It can then be potted up in the soil recommended in the substrate section.
- Location/light requirements: bright, indirect sunlight
- Substrate: Ben's Hoya Soil Special Soil
- Temperature: optimal at 21-24° C (day), 16-18° C (night)
- Watering: only water moderately, the substrate may dry out slightly, avoid waterlogging at all costs
- Humidity: requires higher humidity, place in terrarium or spray regularly
- Addition of nutrients: in spring/summer, fertilize moderately every 2-4 weeks with diluted organ. Liquid fertilizer moderately
- Repot approximately every 2 years when the plant is sufficiently rooted.
- Keeping the plant dry towards the end of winter encourages flower production.
