I have been growing this jewel orchid for years in the open in Mumbai. the stems are succulent and look more likesausages, purplish and creep just above the sandy medium. Roots drop from joints to remain embedded in the sand. Haemaria branches out well to form an attractive ground cover. It can take a lot of sun and reasonably higher temperature(upto 38 C) for months without getting burnt. It will thrive in shallow pots and appreciate ample watering.
