Orbifolia can live in a general soil mixture. A good one would be a soil that has a high peat moss content because peat moss increases moisture.

Orbifolia need to get water on a consistent schedule. They need to live in soil that is moist but not drenched. Soil should never dry out completely.

Orbifolia also love humidity! If you are watering the plant consistently and find it is still getting brown tips, place the plant near a humidifier.
