@plantmanager, hello! I can only speak of what I do, not sure if it's the super care, but it works. I keep them in medium light conditions, imagine in the middle of a room, that kind of light. Keeping them grouped, to increase humidity, I have even potted some of them together. I am spraying them each and every day. I know it is mostly for my kind of feeling I care more, I somehow have a feeling they enjoy it. Keeping them away, so important, away from every kind of heater, they despise central heating! They are not very demanding, but if close to heat, they will demise, that is for sure. The soil is kept moist, it is not the lightest of soils either, but I have adjusted the watering, I keep them in glazed and unglazed terracotta pots. Hope it helps! Smiling
In some Native languages the term for plants translates to "those who take care of us."
