In vitro culture: You will receive a bottle with 4 young plants. The plants are usually already large enough to be potted. After opening, carefully remove the nutrient medium completely from the roots with lukewarm water and plant the young plants in a fine, airy, and slightly moisture-retaining substrate. In the first few weeks, we recommend very high humidity, cool to intermediate conditions, and bright but protected light with gentle air movement. Keep evenly slightly moist and do not let the young plants dry out completely yet.
