But for the Op i'll add that I just put mine in a peice of styrofoam amd have a small koralia with some flow on the roots. I'm actually thinking on taking them out. I find them kind of ugly looking and unless you have a whole whack of them I really see no benefit in having them.

I found root growth is quite fast in comparison to leaf growth
Also I've found that its very easy to kill the leaves (not misting, not enough light) but they always seem to recover and the pods themselves are quite hardy

It took close to 2-3 months before I started to see leaves and even now I only have a few leaves on each one after almost a year of having them but I don't take care of them very well
