Thanks for the information Coeruleo. I had it on tree fern then put it in a basket and now back to tree fern! All this within a two hour period! I will leave it on the tree fern, I am thinking my conditions here in Houston may be favorable for success with it. While we may get more rain than its natural habitat, I think it will like the hot humid conditions here. If this drought keeps up it may not even notice its not in some arid region of Mexico!
