Looks good, except if I might offer a bit of advice? I'd have placed the plant with the crown a little more slanted so the water drains out of the cup of leaves easily. They do like some roots up in the air, too.

Or, you could just hang the pot on a bit of an angle?

As you see, all my potted ones are 'crawling' over the edges and sticking roots up in the air. Just waiting for that bloomer to finish and it will get mounted. The little variegated one had terrible rot problems and I've almost lost it twice until I mounted it. Since then, no problems even in summer!
