Selenipedium success????

[dodidoki]

I got it one year ago!!! It is my third attempt, all died within few months. It begun similar, in first few weeks almost lower leaves turned to brown, after few tiny new leaves begun to grow on top, and now you can see its new growth. Not too fast, I can tell, but growing continously. I keep it in akadama, always wet, humiditi is high, cca 80%, fertilizing with very weak ( 70 ppm total) K-lite.
