Update on this one...
New pbulb is growing fine, as expected, almost 3" in length (8 cm).
I have been fighting against any "survival insticnt" and I've been putting it under almost full sun to acclimatise it to really strong light. The only protection is a translucid/almost transparent curtain. This is to avoid being constantly moving it in the room.
So far is good.
Water it every 4 days. Now temps are in the low 70's so I'll increase to every 2 days.

Looking good. Nice root tips. If they grow out of the pot in my environment they are goners.

One suggestion. Where roots are coming out of the basket, hang Spanish moss on them so that it hangs over the roots. Mine grow down into the moss, and really seem to like it there.

Update...now I can see the new leaves forming in the new growth with the red tinge showing good light as expected from a south window.
These pics were taken after watering and most of the roots are green, even the long aerial ones. At this time of the year I water it every 3 to 4 days.
Maybe this is a forgiven hybrid but I'm finding this one surprisingly easy to grow. I'm really satisfied with it.

It's pointing that way... but I find that these do whatever they want. So enjoy it whatever it does

Nice shot of the sweet droplets. Touch them with your finger, then touch the tip of your tongue.
