Keyring,
Quoting:Don't make the mistake I once made of putting it in too big a pot. (well, I thought it was an "appropriate" size pot...) Snug is good.
Uh~oh... there you go again...you know me oh to well...ok, so it was in a
2 in and I moved it up to a 2 1/4 in chord pot so it would set better on the wicker pot...I did add perlite to the bottom and gave it a lil fresher mix...I had not re potted it for 2 years. It seemed happy ~so I didn't want to upset the lil darling.
Brenda,
Quoting:I still think those tubers look like a big ol' grub! They give me a bit of a start each time I see one.
Yep, should of heard me squeal the first time I saw one...I don't do *bugs*....
Quoting:I do have a question though, if you were to take that nice fat tuber and break it in half would you then be able to grow two plants?? Is that how you would "propagate" these? Or one of the ways that you could? Just curious, I'm looking forward to trying some in the future and especially after seeing this beautiful bloom!
Yes, you could do that...if you weren't me...lol I'd probable drown the poor thing..There was a thread on here where one of the hybridizers explained the best way to do that...probable in the stickies...
For me...I think I will wait and take a cutting or set seeds...nothing lost that way.
Lin, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that's slightly less than graceful....at least I have a buddy. I used to be better but my eyesight is getting soooo bad...I gotta get some new glasses, soon!
Glad to know ya'll enjoyed the pic...it is a very pretty one & a good grower. I'm finally getting the rest of things settled here after the move .
we just finished moving all the books for our library out of the climate controleed storage. Now I can try to get the plants in better growing condition..I still have many in their moving containers that are like terrariums...they just don't have enough light to do well though.
MsC
