I love these plants. I could buy one every year here in my Washington state climate, and I am tempted, but I don't love watching them have to decline in Winter indoors in a warm house. So I talk myself out of them every year. It's fun to see all of yours. Beautiful

I saw one at the San Diego Botanical Gardens last weekend, growing on top of a large large lava rock, much like an epiphyte. They put the front of the plant facing inward toward the shade, with the roots facing the brightest light the plant got. They reminded me of Staghorns. Really neat. They are just laid on the rock, with dirt and leaves piled on the roots.

You guys should all try this and compare notes. It would be fun, at least I would love following their progress; Smiling
