Hm, maybe sunny where you are, Evan, but it's pretty happy in my bright shade here. Interesting info on that thread, but it's really old . . . Tropiflora where I bought mine advised the bright shady location under my live oak tree, light soil and other than that it lives on what rain it gets *(sometimes a lot in summer) a sprinkle of timed release fert in April, and tolerates the cold without any fuss in winter. The bulb on mine is nearly 4in. across now.
On the soil mix, I sifted some of the leafy duff that's under the oaks and mixed it with regular potting mix, with some added perlite for drainage. It's in about a 3gal. pot. (well, its really a waste basket from IKEA, hey how can you beat $1.99 for a nice looking big pot that's lasted 3 years? )
