I have a toadstool that is incredibly sensitive to changes. If anything changes like it gets moved, water flow changes, even if he get touched much, it closes up for weeks. I've had to move it a few times and it has literally taken it months to open up again. So, I can't really help you much to the specifics. Toadstools will do well in variety of conditions, it just seems that some really need to be left alone for a while before they will adjust and be happy.
