tsuh yang,

I must report my Remusatia vivipara plants never read the books
reporting that in nature the plants have epiphytic tendencies.
No doubt they do, but as with so many plants, Rem. vivipara are
quite adaptable to varying cultural conditions. Certainly mine
don't climb out of the pots (or ground) as do Anthuria, e.g.

I'm currently growing 2 vivipara's: one in my GH, in a soil/ epiphyte
mix; and one simply plunked into the ground in poorly amended clay,
just outside the GH. Even if they could or do grow as epiphytes, the
amount of water needed to develop and support those huge leaves
is not trivial.
