Plant has bloomed once since March 19,  2024. It has ferns growing inside and outside of the pot and a nice thick layer of green moss on the top and is very healthy. The fern is persistent.   There is a layer of algae on the perimeter of the plastic clear pot. I just pulled the moss and away from the edges of pot and squirted peroxide down in there to hopefully kill the algae.  I’m wondering if I could put a aliflor down the outside of the rootball to prevent the algae from returning?

Last night I found this plant laying on the floor. The hook had come out of the cork mount, which is very very worn out. So we had to reattach the mount to the hook so I could hang it up again. It now has seven flowers open. It didn’t lose any flowers as a result of falling down they’re all quite sturdy.

A few months ago, I accidentally broke off one of the new gross on this plant. The plant was growing nicely with new gross and nice growing tips on the roots and since I broke off that growth, the roots have lost their little growing tip.
