ericst11, keep it moist and cool. medium light and good moist air... This one is in treefern + moss mix, but my other clones are on mounts. An extra doze of magnesium can be benefitial.

Tom. Your flowers last 10 months! We've had some of these PLANTS that lasted 10 months for us. No, seriously, I bought a huge one at the New York show about 25 years ago (from a display) and over 3-4 years it shrunk and went to heaven. Too warm here.

I haven't had a lot of luck with these and I'm jealous everytime I see one in flower.

Im hoping to pick up some neat clones this year at the San Francisco show. Ive wanted a yellow one for sometime now. At the very least a couple bicolors.
