I grow it in mix of limestone, granite, gravel and akadama, water it with very weak fertilizer ( around 80-100 ppm) every day. I have problem with resting period, this season were tragic for many of my cyps when they started in december. So I decided I will buy a fridge for this purpuse. Full plant pic tomorrow.

Growth in the fall! That is terrible.
I saw C. shanxiense in the wild growing on travertine in a thin layer of humus from mostly coniferous trees. I'd guess they need around neutral conditions. I think the bigger issue with most Chinese Cyps is their need for a long, unbroken rest from October thru March that is on the dry side.
