Jorel,

All three clones found at Home Depot are vigorous growers under tropical
lowland conditions. Try warm, very humid days, 15 degree F. night temp drop
is ideal( a low of 60 F and a high of 85 F), clean ( no chlorine, few
dissolved minerals) water, and filtered sunlight. I grow all my Neps under
65 % shadecloth. I will assume the plants are in hanging plastic pots and
potted in a spag peat/perlite mix. This is fine. Don't let them get dry.
Keep the mix moist, but not constantly sopping wet. That's about it!

Good growing,
