The Ant Plant thrives in bright, indirect light—skip the harsh direct sun and drafty spots. Keep temperatures between 18-25°C with plenty of humidity for this tropical charmer. Water when soil dries slightly, but here's the golden rule: let that caudex stay dry to dodge rot. Use an airy epiphytic mix like orchid bark, and give it a light feed during growing season. Your quirky new friend will reward you with those signature hollow stems in no time.
