I haven't kept this particular Sp but I have kept allot of mantids and hatched allot of ooths.

If the female was mated with a male and the ooth is fertile you can hot glue it or hang it in a ventilated sweet jar. Make sure the ooth is hanging in the same position as it was laid.
Keep the ooth at the same temperature and humidity as you are keeping the adult and it should hatch for you. They can take some time, I usually work with anything between 8 - 12 weeks.
