I have trouble with these too… a friend says that Distilled water and a cover/dome for humidity is a must! I plan to try again soon

So like ceranwrap?

#### NikoScy replied on 2023-03-25

That may work! I was thinking like the plastic lid on a QT cup kinda dome.

Ok 👍🏻 thanks

I think distilled water might be the way to go. I got one (it was in kinda poor shape) and it died almost immediately after I used tap water on it.

I used rainwater

My brother kept one alive for a while with distilled water. Dry AZ killed it :(

### Brandon commented on 2023-03-25

Difficult to keep those alive it seems.

#### Frogsworthplanthuman replied on 2023-03-25

Very.
