I am finding mine challenging to grow. I got two and one has slipped away, the other is trying, but suffering.I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm still trying.

Heat, brilliant light, water, with drying between waterings. Less water when cool. |

Mine seem to like it better mounted. I spray the roots once a day. |

My one that died was originally mounted, but when I noticed the newest roots drying up when they attached to the mount I figured It was not damp enough, so I potted it up and no new roots started and it just went down hill from there.

How much heat ? Is 57 F at night too cool ? As to light, does it need to be right under the T-5s ? It is now off to the side where it get some of the light. |

i agree. I have three, and although they are all growing, the healthiest plant with the best roots is mounted. I am considering moving my potted C. Walkeriana to a mount.
If you can, place any mounted plant in a location where it can benefit from long, all day rains. Rain allows the plant maximum time to soak in water and rehydrate. |

Did the walkeriana have new growth starting when it was removed from the mount? If not, it might just need to get established again to recover. Once it sends out new pseudobulbs and those get new roots, it should be fine. With the increase of light signalling spring, that should happen fairly quickly.
Here is a bit of culture information:
