You likely did everything correctly neo. I bought my first ceciliae in June last year. It was mounted on a piece of wood or something - and I had to pry the roots off with my fingers - carefully that is. Coming up to nine months or so - of growing in scoria. And according to the RockLilyMan guy - who has seen the various habitats ...... he reckons that ceciliae can handle various sorts of conditions.
Growers sell ceciliae in flasks over here in some parts of Australia - which are reasonably priced too. And individual ceciliae plants come up every once in a while on ebay here - where the 'legal' sellers display their 'APQ' number - applies to the Australian sellers. But getting the flasks makes it easier for testing or trying out growing methods (to best of our abilities so as not to hurt too many juveniles) is probably best over here.
