I recieved this plant in a give away a couple of weeks ago. It just sat there doing nothing until last week while i was gone. It has colored up nicely under my lights, it used to be mostly green. It is also growing a few new leaves.

Wow. Indeed it seems to like your setup. Mines sitting and doing nothing like ceph. I've been watching it everyday and filling the pitchers with water.

Very nice heli !
I confirm; its a happy plant :)

If the moss thrive, your plants will thrive !

Also, if you throw good light, cool temps and hight relative humidity, im pretty sure your clump will pop a flower in the next few months :)

Wow. I did not know it could flower at such a small size.

I currently have it in a plastic bag under my lights since it was recently divided and repotted. Should i keep it in the bag or take it out and spray it several times a day?

Yes :) Your plant is in fact a clump of plants. Many plants together linked by their roots are always stronger. And under good cares, the flower will come, even on very little clumps :)

For your question, if the RH% is over 80% in your tank, you can unbag your plant. No need to mist.

To tell the truth, i never bag my divisions or my new helis. I just pot them and put them directly with my other helis. I never lost a helis. But like i said, the relative humidity need to be very high.

Yay my tank is all set up. The plant seems happy in it. Currently I have a N. Alata d. Capensis, d. Binta in with it as well. It is also out if the bag. The new leafs are getting bigger and fatter every day.
