1. Here is a link I used when I first got mine.

I bought my cirrus last year and would have had a bloom if I had not gone away for the weekend. I hung it in the branch of a tree that grows through my deck. It likes a good watering but doesn't like to stay wet so make sure it is in a pot with good drainage. I used a hanging basket with sphagnum moss.
I put it in my greenhouse this fall and it lived through the winter and has started to put on profuse grown in all directions. I'll post a pic later. Hope this helps.:hi:


edit for speling

2. thanks!
thanks so much. I'm moving from SC to Va next month and am definitely taking it with me. It puts out lots of leaves, but no blooms yet (it's probably about 10yrs old-got it as a slip from a friend). My neighbor had one when I was a kid and we were allowed to stay up to watch it bloom! Weird looking plant, but bloom is worth it! thanks again!
