When planting sarcophyte, select well-draining soil, as stagnant moisture can harm the plant. They thrive in bright but indirect light, so choose a spot that mimics this natural preference. Supply sarcophyte with moderate water, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. For planting, dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the plant gently, backfill with soil, and tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots. Generally, ensure good airflow around sarcophyte to prevent fungal issues.
