I grow it in a location that receives direct sun during the morning and bright indirect light during the remainder of the day. This species grows nicely in a potting mix that drains very well and doesn't stay too soggy. I use a mixture of pumice, perlite and peat.The first two photos show the flowers of a mature plant.
