blooming for the first time after buying a 2 growth plant from Windy Hill and I'm very happy. These are flowers 3 and 4 with a few more to go

Pretty! :clap: Is that a Max. teuifolia behind it?

 

[JPMC]

Great flowers and I like the way the stolons stay close to the mother plant.

 

[SlipperKing]

Great blooming. I see a stolon escaping in the first PIC. Bye, Bye Mother!

that's about as far as the stolons have traveled for me, guess it's time for a repot.

Yup, the maxi just finished making my house smell of coconut sun bathing products.

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow -- how do you get the growths to form so close to each other???

yeah Forrest, how did you do that???

 

[smartie2000]

yes! I would like to know how you saved so much space!

 

[NYEric]

I still have to repot mine!

 

[Bolero]

I am jealous, nice growing.

my only thought on that is extremely high light. it seems to me most things ramble less when relly pushed with lots of light, this one gets 3-4 hours direct sun daily. Other than extra light I follow Marilyn Ledoux's directions.

You might be keeping it wetter/cooler than most. Mine would climb over the sides of the pot regardless of pot size. Yours is very compact in comparison to most I've seen. Very nice.

Have you been growing outdoors?

I've kept mine in one of the brightest parts of my GH where Catts and Vandas are doing good. The air humidity is pretty high, but I probably don't really water it all that much.

Maybe my high humidity allows it to ramble so it can "look" for bigger sources of water.

Me too!

OK, now I'm jealous...

it's been growing outdoors on the sunniest part of my porch, I've burned a few catts there but this little thing seems fine with it. Low humidity and I water it tons.

Maybe that's the ticket. Low humidity and plenty of water at the roots. It doesn't have to go seeking water.

Man I am jealous. Might then about placing my somewhere else.
