Lepismium houlletianum requires bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and prefers soil that is kept evenly moist. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging. This plant can adapt to indoor environments if provided with the right conditions.Sol
The Chain Cactus prefers a well-draining loam soil mix. Ensure the soil retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix designed for epiphytic cacti or orchids can be ideal, as it provides the necessary drainage and aeration.Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.Rempotage
Repot Lepismium houlletianum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Propagation
