Pelantanthera insectifera growing info?

[Paul Mc]

I am wondering if anyone has any experience growing this one. I bought one in February that came in a plastic pot with medium bark chips. After a few months, it's growth habit seemed to indicate it would really do better in a basket since the roots were going everywhere. Also, I noticed the leaves shriveling which told me it needed far more water than twice a week.

Since putting it in a basket with coconut husk fibers, it seemed to do better then suddenly all the keikis except one died and the main growth along with its roots slowly dried up and succumbed. I am left with one 7 leafed keiki at the base.

The remaining keiki seems to be doing much better than the parent though. It's leaves started shriveling a bit so I increased water again. To date, the leaves aren't turning yellow and dropping like its parent and siblings did.

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or could do better?

For now, I have it under a large pin oak tree so it gets morning sun until about 10 or 11am, then it gets a bit of evening sun around 6 or so (probably only about 1 hours worth or less). I've been watering it several times a day (until mid-afternoon) along with my Vandas.
