Place Hydnophytum formicarum in warmth and high humidity, choose a spot with lots of (indirect) light and regularly provide Hydnophytum formicarum with nutrition. Also ensure sufficient air circulation when placing it in a terrarium. Though the exotic ant plant does well at temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, the ideal temperatures are higher: between 20 and 30 degrees. Use a mix for orchids to pot the ant plant or tie it to a piece of bark.
