Almost missed this bloom.:)) It is so tiny, but there are many this year. Several stems have blooms. They are very cute.

Good job. Ask me how many of those I've killed.:rofl:

I am still figuring out what it likes and what it doesn’t. So far I have learned that it does not like to stand in water, prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate cold deeps for short periods of time.:))

I grow it in a net pot, started out in sphagnum. Most of the sphagnum is now just fibers, and it seems to be very happy growing in essentially nothing.

I can confirm “growing in essentially nothing”. Mine is in a tiny clay pot that can hold tightly one packing peanut. Plant is times larger than its clay pot.
