A year on, and most of them are starting to flower, including one that has already flowered twice since I got it.

We go to 42C here at times, but we d have good air movement generally, and I think that helps.

I pot mine in fine bark, but I do put three small balls of sphag around the edge of the pot to just hold a little water, while the bark ensures that the roots can breathe.
Do you grow them outside? During those times when you hit 40-42C, what are night temperatures like?

It drops to about 15 in the hot weather, I think.

They are in the greenhouse all winter, but go out into the shade area as soon as the cold nights are past.

That's the difference. When we have 40-45C / 104-115 F by day nights are 32-35C / 90-96 F. Even a lot of succulents can't live with these night temperatures, such things as most Crassulaceae and Bromeliaceae.
