Anyone growing this beauty ? How difficult is it? What medium do you use? Do you keep it in a saucer of water? How do you fertilize it (TDS would be ideal)?

Hi Wentworth!
I grow it, I have a youngish plant w/ one mature growth and a new start growing quickly. I grow it just like my besseaes, in seedling bark, water about three times a week. Don't keep it in a saucer. I fertilize once a week, usually, w/ 125ppm of MSU for pure water. Water generally with rain water or distilled, or a mix of the two. Sorry, don't have TDS readings for you right now.

Hi, W!

I have this easy to grow and medium to fast growing species and I love it! I grow mine in regular bark/stone mix and I don't grow it in standing water. Mine is also fragrant and I have posted pics of mine in the Phrag gallery, check them out.
