I bought this last year, and it was growing in sphagnum moss, and I don't do well with sphagnum, so I repotted it immediately. When I repotted, I found that the roots were almost entirely dead (I guess the nursery I bought it from doesn't do well with sphagnum either haha). It has grown and recovered since then, but the newest growth is considerably smaller than the previous one. I wasn't really expecting it to bloom on this small new growth, but here it is. Only four flowers, but they're bigger and have better form than the ones on the plant when I bought it.
