Water once a week by soaking face down for 20-30 minutes. Average size is 4"-6".This plant grows without soil. It absorbs water and nutrients from the air through its leaves. Place this somewhere it will get indirect, bright sunlight. It can be used in a terrarium, a shallow bowl, on a shelf, or moved around your home.
