Thanks, WhiteRabbit. It seems happy enough with the light and humidity; I'm most uncertain re: the potting medium and watering.

I'm very spartan w/ my tolumnia -- mounted, or straight expanded clay. I've recently moved a few into straight EcoWeb, and they seem to like that a lot. They get watered every a.m., fertilized lightly 1x / wk, and get a heavy fog 2x / day w/ a hydrosonic mister. RO water and ~3k fc for 12 hrs a day. The tolumnia do very well with this regimen.

The Carnival Costume is in fine bark mix. I'm worried about keeping the mix too wet -- and rotting the roots -- or too dry and stressing the plant. Has anyone else tried growing it in essentially tolumnia conditions, w/ minimal media? It has the one tolumnia parent, but I don't know anything about the other parent. Should I be brave and just take the plunge??
