I have mixed results in baskets, actually. You definitely need to time your repotting to a time of new root growth, especially in baskets. The plants can take a while to establish and sulk a bit. Some never establish. The ones that take to baskets (or hanging pots) really take to it though.

Nice one Rob, I never would have guessed that was a species.

Stunning! Species have so much to offer, more imppresive than some hybrids.
