I've had 1 going on 3 years. I have it it a 1 1/2 in. plastic pot loosely packed with small bark. I treat it like a mount because the roots are all over the place. I spray it every other day, giving it a good soak with the sprayer. I don't think it likes to dry out too much.
It's a little blooming machine, so after a while I'll cut down on feeding and let it approach dryness for a month or 2 to let it rest. If you look thru the project thread(I think 2009) people were growing it all different ways and most had some success.

Low-ish light, keep lightly moist. I love this species!

Looks like you have a great plant there! I love the variation of the blooms - the dark maroon 'patch' on yours looks really big.
