I think it'll do fine. I've read that they bloom after a rain storm.

I've not grown this long enough to know how they bloom.

All I know is that it was not an easy Eria for me to grow. I have an Eria tormentosiflora (?, maybe it's tormentosa), an Eria maingayi, and Eria carinata, these have not proved to be as frustrating for me as the Eria aporoides.

I no longer have Eria aporoides. But I still own the others.

Erias in general grow in similar enough conditions to generalize in such a way.

The only difference between species is that the larger ones like Eria hyacinthoides and Eria carinata I'd pot. They're too large to mount and still provide enough moisture.

They can tolerate a short dry out period. Watch the fertilization though, I believe they're a bit sensitive to too much of it.
