I just got myself a moquettianum today and though it seemed a bit limp when it arrived, I've revived it thanks to the high humidity of the monsoons. So I guess that means that the root system is fine. The 3 inch pot arrived half filled with media which is a mix of burnt earth pellets, pumice and a little coal with styrofoam at the base. The plant has leaves which are 15-18 cm long. I have it sitting on a tray on top of my aquarium which is shaded for the most part of the day and receives 50% sunlight from 8 t0 10 am.
Coming to my climate, I live in Calicut, Kerala, India which is a high humidity area wedged between the Western Ghat mountains and the Arabian Sea. We receive the South West Monsoon from June to September and Jan to Mar are the months we do not receive any rainfall at all, yet humidity hovers at around 50% even then. Temperatures range from 29 t0 34 degrees Celsius during the day and 22 to 30 degrees during the night.
I'd like to know how I should proceed with taking care of the plant from here vis a vis feeding, light requirements, watering and anything else that hasn't struck me as important.
Thanks in advance.
