    Just purchased a red chillie coral. I know it should be placed under a ledge away from direct light. But should it be pointing up, or hanging down.
    What did you guys do, and how is it doing.

    Thank you

    I have one under a ledge and it's still drooping. I think I've seen some on here were able to have theirs stay upright. I'm not sure what determines that....

    They usually are found hanging down.
