I found mine at Steins garden center here in Wisconsin. I was reading that they live under the canopy of other trees in their natural habitat (similar to epiphytic holiday/Christmas/thanksgiving/Easter cactus) …so bright INDIRECT light is probably best. Direct light can burn the leaves. The texture of the leaves IS really stunning which is what drew me to this plant in the first place, but the bright green coloring is just as beautiful and I love how it brightens up my home. I did not know they grow so large, now I’m even more excited. I used Sungro black gold standard potting mix, and I add perlite for extra drainage and I make sure the soil is never sopping wet and the container drains well. I never let it dry completely between waterings. All these comments before I’ve finished watching your video lol. And now I will watch the rest of your video.

@@onlyplants I did pull them out after a few months of frustration. I changed the media to include coco husks. Out of the three plants, only one grew a baby leaf that took about a month to get from a millimeter to an inch, then died off. Waaah! I tried putting one in direct sunlight and it burned it, the other one in full shade grew bigger but no new growth, and the one (control subject) that I left in the same spot that got bright indirect light, didn't budge. Most recent thing I did was cut off the leaf of the second one to see if it will grow a new frond like the other one did - I had to cut off 80% of the frond because of mechanical damage to the leaf. so far nothing. Nada. I've decided to just let it do what it wants for now. LOL
