These plants often grow in trees where light is filtered by the leaves and branches of the tree. Spraying leaves directly can result in leaf spotting. Potted plants should be watered when the soil is dry. Take care not to over-water which can cause fungal rot and death. Watering can also be accomplished by dunking the plant and allowing the water to drain off.
Growth is slow.
Plants grown on wood slabs can be fertilized by placing some decaying leaves behind the shield fronds. Sea kelp is a good organic fertilizer. Pot in orchid substrate mixed with sphagnum moss and a dash of charcoal to keep it fresh. Plants can also be mounted on wood slabs by the base of the plant using wire or plastic strips. They can also be hung in wooden or wire baskets.
