Locations

Southern window sides. Species which need better ventilations and/or cooler climate are hanged directly from the ceiling or in hanging baskets made of coarse rattan or bamboo. Other species are set on shelves with good ventilaton. Windows are closed during the daytime. They are placed where the wind from air conditioner heater is avoided and the temperature does not decrease if at all possible.

Light

Foliages are placed in the sun to partial shade or dappled sun under trees.

Soaking

Foliages are dipped every week in the night in pooled water using washtubs and buckets for 3 - 4 hours. Soaking longer than 6 hours may cause serious trouble and must be avoided. Foliages are taken out of the water in the morning.
