They are strong plants that require a lot of light and do well on the ground.
Anguloas drop their leaves annually, at which time they turn yellow and fall. This is normal and you should not be scared. During that period you can reduce watering to a minimum.
When the dry season ends, they produce new leaves and flowers. In this moment they must be watered abundantly. They can do well in a wide range of ilumination but preffer stronger light.
They require large baskets and a lot of space with air movement so that they grow without difficulty and do not develop diseases.
