Soil Depth: Shallow to moderate, with proper drainage

Lighting: Low to medium indirect light

Humidity & Misting: 50%-100%, with higher humidity levels suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: These mound-forming plants will max out at 8 inches tall and possess thick, corrugated leaves. Their very thin, fibrous root systems are shallow, but allow for maximum water absorption with adequate humidity.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown.  Best if used as an underplanting or corner placement.  Can also be used as a front (low) groundcover, if pruned back.
