I got this plant a few weeks ago and when it arrived it was potted in a large grade of bark inside of a tiny 2 inch pot from which i removed it and tied it to a piece of tree fern and since i now have a new leaf as well as a pair of new root tips emerging from the base stem. It seems to enjoy the drying out period before each watering on the mount and i would assume it received something similar to that inside of such a small pot with such large media present.
