'Little plant' I've seen some over 3 feet high. Potting mix is variable, I
have one outside in a bog with Drosera. It gets 8hrs direct sun/day. It is
just about to finnish flowering and is producing pups. I also have a large
one in the glasshouse under 50% shade which flowered at the start of the
year. It is now 8 plants, 3 of which were formed within the leaf bracts of
the parent and are about 2 feet already. The pups are 1/2 a foot high. This
plant is in a mix of scoria, peat, sand, and orchid bark. I don't fertilise
it but I'm sure it would help.
Regards
Greg
