Besides growing it dry much of the time, I believe that this is a plant that likes a slightly lower pH as in nature it is found growing in evergreen forests. I am now growing my plant primarily in coconut husk. While my plant does not look especially nice, for me it looks better than most of the time that I have kept it. It is growing in a shaded area of a grow tent under one LED light. The temperatures dip down to 60 F degrees at night and get to about 73 F during the day. These are warmer temps than it would find in nature, but seemed sufficiently cool to flower it. Both times the plant has flowered for me in January.
