While I certainly can't claim long term success with this species, I have
been growing it for the past year with moderate success. Nothing fancy as
far as growing methods, I'm afraid. 50/50 peat sand in a 4 inch pot with a
dome over the tray. They are under a shop light - one cool white and one
gro-lux. (or whatever terms you prefer!) They HATE heat and went dormant
over the summer, but they are growing quite nicely now. I may get the
courage to try a few leaf cuttings soon, but I would hate to kill such cute
plants. I am sure I could grow them better if I had more plants to
experiment with. Hope they flower in the spring.
