Nice plant Ron. Have you flowered it?

Can also be found under Angolluma and Desmidorchis.

Plant on the right bloomed once that I saw. Plant on the left is an arm off the plant on the right.

It does seem to enjoy the hot dry air here. I should probably use some top dressing to help stabilize that arm until it roots more thoroughly.
