Cyrtosperma johnstoni

This is a fairly tropical plant I tried to grow several times while I lived in the subtropics. Every winter it would get set back , usually dieing. I saw it at some Orchid nurseries growing well with Paph's and Phal's.
It should grow very well in a tropical aquarium, as it does best submerged.

Nice plant but I wouldn't try here in SE Qld, some of the more easy aroids are difficult in winter, e.g. Black Velvet. Sigh, one can't have it all.

I just saw a nice specimen at Ft. Worth Botanic Garden today. I figure I could grow it outside in shade with high humidity during summer; and winter it over inside. But, where to purchase one? Any suggestions?
