I received mine about a week ago and although it's a small plant offering with only 3 leaves, I do have the beginnings of a pretty interesting plant. I'm completely infatuated with the spiny stems, and the veining is very pleasing, too. My plant arrived through mail-order, somewhat bug-chewed, and even though I was a bit disappointed in the plant's condition, I figured it would do okay if I pampered it a bit.

Instead of putting it in my greenhouse, I have kept it in a warm, southwestern exposure area in my home and have watered it every other day. Since this is a bog plant, I doubt I can over-water this plant, still, I'm erring a bit on the side of caution at this point.

So far so good....This morning, I noticed that I have a new leaf spike. I am so excited!! Check out the photos of my "baby" cyrtosperma. And here's a blurb on another website with a picture of the full-grown cyrtosperma johnstonii: http://www.lucidcentral.com/keys/appw/nonkey/html/cyrtosperm...
