''A. fasciata'' requires partial shade and a well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil. It can also be grown [[Epiphyte|epiphytically]], as, for example, with moss around its roots and wired to rough bark. There aren't too many serious pests to the plant, but [[root rot]] can be a problem if the soil is too moist.<ref name="Gilman" />
