Sorry canβt help but what a beautiful plant
@stefsayles thank you
Beautiful plant. Itβs an epiphyte make sure you give it the correct light and that itβs potted in the correct airy medium (not soil). This plant doesnβt need bright light like other succulents or cacti, but watering should be similarly light, donβt let it get bone dry but donβt get it wet. It should be an easy grower. Care is more similar to that of an orchid than a regular cactus. Look up orchid care.
My biggest tip: donβt over water!!! Make sure the soil drains well, and a terra cotta pot is apparently good for it. Beware if it starts blooming every month! (They typically bloom once or twice a year?)π€·πΌββοΈ Mine bloomed monthly for about 5 months, then it ended up with root rot. Iβm trying to save it now. π¬ Maybe I was over watering it
It needs watering every 2-3 weeks, indirect light, well-drained soil, feed it once 1-2 month.
