Successful cultivation of the stunning Anguloa ruckeri requires attention to its natural habitat conditions. Here are some essential cultural tips to ensure its thriving growth:
Light: Anguloa ruckeri prefers bright, filtered light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day, as it can scorch the leaves. A shaded area with dappled light is ideal.
Temperature: This species thrives in intermediate to cool temperatures. Aim for daytime temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F) and cooler nights around 10-15°C (50-59°F). Mimicking its natural Andean habitat is key.
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 60-80%. Use humidity trays, misting, or a humidifier to achieve this, especially in drier environments.
Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering slightly during the dormant period (winter) to prevent root rot. A well-draining mix is essential.
