Be careful with how high the humidity is and how wet it gets in the vivarium. Air circulation must be good too.

I recommend a non-vivarium setting first, just to get the hang of growing Bulbos if you've never grown one before.

You did a good job mounting. If the conditions are right, you should find out pretty soon.

Default You guys aren't going to believe this!!!

IT BLOOMED!!! I saw what I thought was a new nubbin a few weeks ago and last weekend I noticed the buds!!!

AMAZING! Very cool little flower(s?) I am sooo stoked!! Not bad for something that was found in the dumpster and purchased for $2 the first week in June...

Now, can anyone tell me what it is?

I think that you put too much moss on it and some moss become bad on the Bulb.
Bulb. grown with little moss andkeep the environment wet will easy to grown for it.
