You could grow it in its own terrarium. One of the companies that supplied Petsmart (I think its Zoo Med) sells a Paludarium set up. I bought one when they were on sale last year around this time. It vertical with a door that opens. I bought it to grow mainly some Racinaea bromeliads (from the cloud forest). You can keep the humidity in that sucker over 85% easy with a reptile fogger. If you don;t use it as a paludarium (i.e don;t put water in the bottom third like an aquarium but fill it with potting mix instead) you could grow a cuprea. It comes with a hood and lights too. And some miscellaneous BS that I didn't use in mine but was able to use elsewhere
