It likes a cool growing environment. It will have problems when growing under full light. It's better to provide a half shade environment for daily maintenance. Especially in summer, it can't stand the sun exposure, so we must pay attention to cover the hot sun. In winter, the intensity of sunlight is small, and it can be placed in a bright place.
It belongs to the epiphytic cactus, and its roots can't stand the environment of water and humidity, so it has certain requirements for the soil. It needs to provide sandy loam with good drainage, without water accumulation.
The suitable temperature for its growth is about 15-25 ℃. It can't stand the cold. It needs to be moved to the room for maintenance in October or so. Only when the temperature is above 5 ℃, can it survive the winter safely.
Water application is the decisive factor for the growth speed. The basin soil should not be too wet. In summer, water can be sprayed properly to increase the humidity. In winter, water application should be controlled indoors, about once every 10-15 days.
It is necessary to pay attention to the problem of applying fertilizer. During the growth period, apply fertilizer every half a month, with more times and less concentration. If the concentration is too high, it will cause excessive growth. It can prolong the flowering period by increasing the application of P fertilizer when flowering and budding.
