It's planted in a net pot inside a normal pot. It has very little medium and lives in a terrarium (no lights or sprinkler system) with a layer of leca which stays damp average humidity 70% in front of a W facing window. Gets watered (by soaking) once a week or every 10 days or more in winter. Hope this helps.

Thanks for looking and commenting Carrie, Bud, Sonya and Kim. I hope to grow this into a much bigger plant like pics I have seen on the web...

Lovely plant! I've killed a couple of these, too, I think my mistake was keeping them too dry.

Well I can't believe it has been over a month this is in bloom and still looks good! No flowers wilted yet(and it was packed for 24h for a move further 'south')... Here is a photo from today, it has not missed a beat! I really can't wait to grow this even more to a specimen size!
