Well, I'm from Singapore and I grow it. One grows in peat and perlite, the other on sphagnum. Neither gives and problems, even when grown on the tray system. They don't seem to need the dormancy period so far.

I have had the ping for 2 years I think.
IIRC, They grow in gypsum soil that's where they get there name from.
My media contains crushed coral for mineral supplement.
