Cultivation details
A fully parasitic plant lacking in chlorophyll depends entirely on its host plant to obtain nutrients [200]. Since A. ludovicianum is an obligate parasite, the conditions for its growth are entirely dependent on the host species. It is not possible to advocate a regimen for care. Note: Researchers in North America have attempted the cultivation of several species of Aphyllon with little success, including A. ludovicianum.
