lambii fans,
in the forum it has often been discussed whether lambii can be cultivated here in D or Central Europe; it is clear that lambii is difficult and easily rots away.
The assessments are "not feasible":
A. lambii, A.ongsakuliiup to the successful culture in Seramis:
"Blue" lambii in Seramis
Here I would like to describe to you an interesting observation that I have made.
I was able to obtain the seedlings described above via leaf cuttings and also be able to raise small plants again and again, but I did not succeed in creating a permanent culture that would have led to large plants or thick tubers.
Last year I tried Vulcaponic
(https://www.klanz.com/home/substrate/vulkaponic-2-5/) as a substrate and the plants developed well.
Since I have used 7 cm pots and the water at Vulcaponic actually passes through immediately and the storage capacity of pumice and zeolite is not high, I put the potlets in a bowl, in which then actually always a few mm of water stood.
The plants then went sometime in autumn / winter in peace and I then always kept the substrate slightly moist to wet and expected that the nodules at the relatively low temperatures in my conservatory or soon rot.
From time to time I have looked and to meimen astonishment always found that they nodules still looked good.
In the spring, 3 plants are expelled again (the fourth is still dormant, but the nodule is still intact) and have developed surprisingly well, whereby I was particularly amazed by the root growth. Here are a few pictures:

I'm curious to see what happens next; I will keep the culture conditions, i.e. always a little water in the coaster and irrigation fertilization - if I often think about it...;-)
Happy growing, Bernhard.
