To ensure optimal growth, provide bright, indirect light and maintain humidity levels. Water the plant by soaking it in room temperature water for about 20-30 minutes every two weeks, and allow it to dry completely before returning it to its display. Fertilization can be done with a bromeliad fertilizer every month during the growing season.
Typically, the Aeranthos x Ixioides reaches a height of approximately 4-6 inches, making it a perfect fit for various arrangements and displays.
