Crypt, commonly involving orchid species, thrive in well-draining, rich organic media, replicating their natural epiphytic habitat. They require bright, indirect light and consistent moisture without waterlogging. Initial planting should start with selecting a suitable orchid mix or bark, positioning plants for optimal light exposure, and watering adequately to settle roots. It's essential to provide support for aerial growth and maintain high humidity. Different species may have specific needs; research individual preferences for best results.
