Hi all - As promised to vraev, here is my little U. campbelliana. I've only had it a few months. It is not yet in flower (but I am clearly hopeful!). I have it in a couple spots. I received two tubers, so avoiding eggs in a single basket and all that, I split them up. That's pretty standard for me when I get new plants and have enough material. The first spot is in a little net pot with live sphagnum moss. This is where it has been happiest, and is spreading throughout the pot. Here is a shot of the little leaves sticking out of the live sphagnum: And here it is growing out the bottom of the pot: It seems to like fairly wet conditions. I also planted on onto a tree fern plaque in the same aquarium. Unfortunately, I planted to too high up and it didn't seem to like the drier conditions there (I knew the net pot would stay quite wet, uncertain of the preferred conditions I didn't want two wet conditions immediately). Here is a shot of the moss on the plaque, I swear there is one campy leaf sticking out: The keen observer will notice the moss looking as though it is growing downward, away from the light. That's because now that I have decided it was too dry at the end of the plaque where I originally I placed the tuber, I've recently rotated it upside-down so the campy tuber will stay wetter. Hopefully that will make it happier. Thanks for looking!
