The plant will give you the best color when it is in a low light situation, but this causes the canes to lengthen and get leggy while searching for light, so indirect bright light is the best overall. The soil must be constantly and evenly moist with high humidity and good airflow. Waterlogged or stagnant conditions will cause the plants to rot, so good drainage is a must.

* These plants are generally renowned as safe to be eaten by reptiles, but please research to ensure they are suitable and safe for your specific species before use.
