Fuzzy the Vietnamense

[Kenneth Snauwaert]

I now have a whole colony of them! Some without pigments on stems or under leaves (albescents?!).

What is your growing medium?

 

[Tom-DE]

Yes I’m back!

BS is usually 10 cm per leaf… or 20 cm LS.

Culture: warm summers, intermediate winters, evenly moist, never dry, medium light

Thank you. My new one(first purchase in years) is about 12 cm LS, a little way to go.

What is your growing medium?

Looks like rockwool. I think.

What is your growing medium?

The little guys here are in rock wool. In Holland still.

The ones here in Canada are in bark mix.

Grow the little one well!

I will give it a good college try, sir. It can not be too hard, can it?

Leslie (and others who grow/grew this sp.), does this species die easily--short-lived? I read some of the older posts here and some indicated their plants died easily or died shortly after they bloomed.
Is HCM easier and long-lived?

That’s a myth. I have vietnamense for over 8-10 years now.

HCM is definitely easier.

I am glad to hear that. Thank you. I have a HCM coming too.

Leslie, how long does the flower last in general?

About 2 weeks maybe 3 at most.

That is not good I don't grow micranthum because the flower is also short-lived(at least under my care).
