    Very nice! Are you going to add to it's mount, or just let it hang?

    Karen, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, it is just starting 2 leads. By reading, it grows horizontally and wet. This isn't growing wet and was very happy growing up the pole. Some of the lower growths have died and there is a new growth at the bottom in the basket down below that I can try some other way as a back up.

    If anyone else here grows it, I'd love to hear how they are doing it.

    Thanks. As an update, it has been several years since I posted this and I still haven't decided what to do with it. It is currently in bloom and I have flask that should be available at the end of the year.

    If you still don't know what to do with it, send it my way. I'll take care of it.
