Disterigma bracteatum Culture
One of the Disterigma species we grow at Ecuagenera, Disterigma bracteatum does best under cool-to-intermediate conditions.
-
Light: Bright to moderate indirect light.
-
Temperature: Day temperatures of 18-26 °C (64-79 °F) with a gentle drop at night to 12-18 °C (54-64 °F) suit it best.
-
Humidity: High, stable humidity (70-85%) keeps the foliage in top condition; a humidifier or grouping plants together helps in dry rooms.
-
Watering: Water when the top of the substrate starts to dry; keep it lightly moist and never waterlogged.
Additional notes: Like most Ericaceae, it can drop part of its foliage from the stress of shipping. Give it good ambient humidity and water 2-3 times a week for the first 15 days and it will push new growth and recover quickly.
