Anathallis pachyphyta Culture
Successful cultivation of the charming Anathallis pachyphyta. Here are some important cultural tips to ensure its thriving growth:
Light: Anathallis pachyphyta appreciates bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch its delicate leaves.
Temperature: To mimic its natural environment, aim for warm to intermediate temperatures. Daytime temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F) are suitable, with slightly cooler nights around 15-20°C (59-68°F).
Humidity: High humidity is crucial for the well-being of Anathallis pachyphyta. Maintain humidity levels between 60-80% by using humidifiers, pebble trays, or by grouping plants together.
Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist, but avoid overwatering which can lead to root rot. Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings.
