Can you tell us how you grow it?

I bought it 20 years ago in Ottawa, it and P. phiilipenense. Over the years both tags went missing and one plant died so I had no idea what it was. I gave up on trying to flower it until a couple of years ago a friend gave me some grow lights. I increased the light to 14 hours and repotted into a bark sphagum mix. It flowered two years ago for the first time and I was able to ID it finally. It seems to be flowering regularly now in winter.
