Nah. Just moisture and warmth. Give it a little while and soon it will be on
your weed list. Remember it is dimorphic, and if big grassy leaves start
getting produced in your pot, that's them! (I personally think "graminifolia"
isn't particularly deserving of its name, considering others in the genus!

Hey, I think something very important is for you guys to nominate
someone, like Rick, to write something up for CPN about this now that it
is getting "bigger." Also, readers of other plant-related news groups
should make a little posting about this. I know I did this already
myself several months ago, but by now there are new readers. I've since
signed off the orchids and rec.gardens newsgroups.
