    Flower is blurry but I wanted the focus on the size of the plant.

    A bit blurry but I wanted to compare it to a standard size Catt.

    Awww, how cute! Judging by the algae on the inside of the pot, I gather you grow this fairly moist, Jeff?

    Yes I do. All my reading said they get heavily misted at night in their habitat and they could even be put to bed rather wet. It's in a 2.5 inch pot that dries quickly anyway. They are also grown in very high light.
