See the post from Paphman910. I have not changed the way I grow it since that post was made. It's not a difficult plant to grow, just slow to grow.

Thank you, I was not around in 2011, so the link was very helpful and informative. I have tried a few seedlings with no success to date.

I got mine as a seedling too. That was almost 10 years ago. Someone told me that there were no seedlings available then, but I can say that it was small (about 6 inches across) and had no evidence of being from a jungle. It does take time, but I think that it's worth it.

They are slow and really test your patience BIG TIME!!!

I love it! Love it! How can I buy one?

Nice and dark... I have a seedling of anitum x sander, growing slowly but steadily. Keep shady and wet like cochlos. No limestone in my mix, only charcoal/broken brick and bits of sphagnum with cocopeat.

I bought mine from Springwater Orchids. I also bought a plain adductum from them. Both are slow growers.

One of the most elegant species. Very very nice! What min temp do you keep it at?

You grow some very nice plants. I love those petals in particular.
