I had one of these potted in small chips of red lava rock in a net pot, watered often, and it did very well until I tried to grow it under lights. I will need to get a new one and grow it in the window.

Sounds exactly like the first plant that I had. Could not have described it better.

Hi KonaLinda. After an unsuccessful first try, I moved the growing area to a more shady location and made sure the plant is watered everyday. The root system is still far from being robust.
