Nice job growing it! I struggled with keeping Cyps like this so Bravo

wow! do u put the pots in the ground during summer?

No, they stay in my plant room until the fall.

One of my fears was that the early growth would cause the plant to get too floppy and weak because I tried to keep it out of the light when it wanted to grow. I think that the first image of the pant I posted on this thread looked floppy. I seem to have been worried for no good reason as the plant seems to be looking much stronger now:

What kind of mix do you have it in?

A mix of ~25 % stalite and 75 % seramis in a clay pot.

Some parviflorums (even var. pubescens) are just naturally small plants. I have a few like that in my yard.
