Thanks you all!
smweaver, it's growing mounted. It was on a 3/4" diameter crape myrtle stick when I got it almost 3 years ago, and when it started growing off of that I tied the whole stick to a 4" x 6" piece of pond-filter media that is similar to eco/epiweb except it's a bit coarser/more open and is white instead of brown (you can see it in the background of the photo). Not the prettiest mount, but the roots seem to like it and I hope the plant will cover it up within a few years anyway. It grows smashed right up against the glass in a W-facing window that gets good south light this time of year, watered 2x/week in warm weather and once per week when it's cooler, fertilized at 125 PPM N when I remember. Temps are pretty much IW because it's in my kitchen, though due to proximity to the leaky window it probably gets exposed to low 50s F on cold winter nights.
