I guess you bought it from the same place where I took it myself, Hawaiianbotanicals. I'm not doing anything special. The only thing that gave me hope is the light. I am using LED light with clearly defined spectrum for plant growth. Well, I made accessible to the animal kingdom ... In terrarium sits next to a dendrobium bigibbum.

Media: LECA 2/3, 1/3 sphagnum moss on top and a few crushed eggshells. Without winter rest.
