aww nice! It's appreciated! So far I haven't killed it lol
Actually - both pieces have grown a bit ...
I mounted the division when I got it last fall - this summer I realized it was drying waaaaaaaay to fast - and I didn't like how I had it situated on the mount, so I undid the mount, that's when I found it had self-divided - the larger piece I remounted with more sphag, the smaller piece went into small pot with sphag, and started new growth right after.
So I hope at least one piece can hopefully bloom for me later this year ? The larger mounted piece had new growth start early this year, and that looks mature now ...
Not sure if the low summer humidity here will keep it from blooming later ...

cool! hopefully mine will ...
I had been scared of bulbos lol - but have read this one should be easy to grow - I just have low humidity a lot of the time, as well as keep the house cool in winter ... but - so far, so good

Water two times a day will help or not subject to moisture?

yeah - the mounted one gets watered at least once a day - when it's hot like today - at least twice a day ...
the potted one is in a small net pot with sphag - which I have set in a small "fish bowl" pot with a little water in the bottom...
