Looks nice, Bud. Are you using pretty fine media (looks like coarse sand) in Rand's aircone pot? Or is the sand only on the top?

Thanks for the visit !
No, it is not sand. It is a mixture of seedling sized lava rock, charcoal, sponge rock, bark, treefern shards and small bits of broken clay. The roots are very fine so I had to use small sized mix. |

Thank You, Tommy!!!!
lava rock, charcoal, bark and a bit of moss but use the seedling size = smaller than the small sized ones

you have a greenhouse, so it must be easier for you to grow this....I am a windowsill grower and this is just left alone and no fuss at all....but I had to remember and take into consideration that this grows in rocks in situ and the weather in that South American coastline must have given this a lot of humidity and warm shaded light...the hot steamy humidity during Manhattan summers must give this a home away from home
