Water: Acarina-like lepanthes prefers adequate moisture but can tolerate drought. Water weekly in summer and every 10 days in fall/winter. Maintain humidity by misting, particularly in dry conditions, and use neutral pH water. Neutralize tap or rainwater by storing it before use.
Fertilize: Acarina-like lepanthes requires minimal fertilization. Use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (N-P-K = 30-10-10) every 10 days post-sprouting in spring. Switch to a balanced fertilizer (N-P-K = 20-20-20) in summer, and consider a phosphorus-rich fertilizer in fall to enhance blooming.
Pruning: Acarina-like lepanthes thrives with light pruning, ideally in early spring, to promote new growth and prevent overcrowding. Remove dead parts carefully and thin older stems to enhance air circulation, reducing disease risk. Minimal pruning ensures aesthetic appeal and optimal health, making acarina-like lepanthes a striking addition.
Propagation: Propagation of acarina-like lepanthes can be achieved through division or cuttings. For division, do it post-bloom by carefully digging up the plant, cutting roots into clusters, and ensuring moisture. For cuttings, take 2-node stem pieces, keeping the substrate moist; rooting takes 2-3 months.
