I don't have this specific Neo, but have 2 others. I grew them in bark the first year, until one of them consistently grew all roots outside the pot. Non of them wanted to dive into the bark.
Someone on OB gave me the advise to grow it 'pot in pot' and that did the trick.
However, I have them 1.5 years now and despite it are established plants, they didn't flower for me. I had them outdoors during summer and previous year had them outdoors until temperatures went down to 10C.
This year I brought them in much earlier.
Thus, I have problems getting them to bloom.
A fellow member of OB, living in Germany, same latitude as I am growing the plants, managed to flower them. So must be possible for me, and for you too.
I uploaded some pictures from the 'pot in pot' method, if you might find them here on OB. If not I'll make new pictures to clarify what it looks like.
