Thanks for the name, Lin. She sent me one, too! I have mine on a permanest tray as they benefit from the water underneath. Also, I have heard people say that they wick theirs and put the blanket material or capillary mats so the moisture helps the plant grow.

Here she is just sitting on a tray water and fetilizer in it. She is going to have a beautiful bloom. Don't give up on her at all. Jan has taught me that they need a lot of moisture but not a terrarium. Actually they are tough and need lots of light so snuggle her up close to the lights.

When she opens I am going to check and see what Martha Lemke looks like. I may not even have the right name but she did come from Rain.
