I bought these to see if I could grow and rebloom them. It worked in the tank under high light and constant air flow!




Now if I can keep them alive for 5 years I’ll be happy! 5 months so far.

Definitely not in my living room lol. The tank is the secret.

I grew this species...you got it right--air movement is essential. One thing tho, it is a short-lived species.

That is the upper end of its average lifespan. Good luck with it.
