There is a FAQ page on the subject of this species, it may be worth looking at at. See if the information applies to your plant, I know for sure they are not grown in peat moss where they came from the jungles. They grow in Decayed leaves, and anything else that may blow in. it gets rain almost daily, so the water would not hurt if it drains off rapidly. Lack of air, being moved, change of temperatures from where it was, all of can these can effect this species. Mine sure didn't like the rain, it had no leaves protecting it overhead.
