What are you feeding that beast?

Congrats on a well grown plant.

Thanks for sharing!

 

[ehanes7612]

Not much feeding .. Barely anything, twice a month with extremely diluted Klite.. Don't ask me how much

 

[Migrant13]

What a great display!

 

[NYEric]

That's pretty good. I'm afraid I would overwater the species. How often do you water it?

Velut luna, sepals variabilis?

 

[Felix]

Velut luna, sepals variabilis?

Yes- hopefully semper crescis (but not decrescis)!

 

[Linus_Cello]

Yes- hopefully semper crescis (but not decrescis)!

Agreed. If so:
Ave formosissima, gemma pretiosa,
(and who says latin is a dead language...)

Very nice, Ed! Is this the one from Ecuagenera? If so, is it Phrag. humboldtii/popowii as indicated in the previous ST discussion?

'Fortuna' name could be coming from Fortuna Dam of Panama. In the flora checklist of Fortuna Dam, both P. humboldtii and P. caudatum are listed.
