Hi Nancy, Soph cernua does very well here in SW FL. so I would think it would do well in cajun country as well. mounted is best IMHO I have two on cork about 4" X 6" and one on tree fern about 2" X 3" the cork does better than the tree fern all get sprayed with the hose every day except in winter. About 3,000 footcandles gives the best blooming. don't expect record setting growth though they will put on two or three growths per year Paul LeBlanc -------------- Original message --------------
