Hello Rj.

I have found P. citrina really easy to grow. I tend to keep it a bit on the dry side, but I haven't found it to be fussy about watering at all (although I doubt it would appreicate soggy for long). I fertilize it lightly once in awhile, and that's it. Mine has never had a single spider mite, but I don't know about other pests. I've even found it to be relatively easy to root from cuttings.

Attached is an evening picture (taken with a flash) of the whole plant. All told, I counted more than twenty buds developing.

Good luck with yours. I hope it blooms for you soon.
