    I/C/W grower. First time bloomer and the tiny flowers seem to be long lasting

    I love these. It is actually a blue flower -- not botanical blue. :)

    And you photographed yours so well. Don't know if this is true for you, but the only thing that seems to bother mine is any kind of salt build up. So I leach this one with RO water more frequently--particularly in the summer. :)

    Reyna, my plant has been on a stick mount with some osmunda fiber for over two years now and I water it daily year round. So far, it has not had the salt build up problem. My well water has TDS 80-85ppm and 6.2-6.5PH.
