This form of rodrigueziana typically grows as a lithophyte (on rocks), so you could put it in a pot of rocks or mount it on a cool stone you've got lying around, although it will do just fine attached to wood as well.  This form holds a deep red color year round, but it is quite muted in lower light so give it strong light for beautiful color
