Hi everyone!
Santa brought these gigantifolium siblings a little earlier, because snow is coming. In three days from Taiwan to Switzerland (with CITES and Phyto control). He must have some frickin' fast reindeers!

very nice plants there! much healthier and larger than most plants I see from overseas.
 
Really, REALLY nice plants you got there. I guess santa has updated his reindeers to newer editions, with special abilities to teleport. :D
 
I think I n more jealous of this posting then any thread I have seen at slippertalk. Amazing plants.
 
Wow! Yeah, that's a nice (pre-)christmas gift. Healthy plants even with seemingly nice roots!
 
Excellent!! Bloom the best one get a hold of a good kolo and cross them!!

I will use them as mother plants. I do not like the primaries so much, but if my kolos bloom I will make a cross and send the seedlings to you :rollhappy:

Mine is makink strong new roots, I have folowed your advices, my pot on my heater with a lot of water
Thanks again
 
I think some of them are in blooming size right? The color of the leave is much darker than mine.

My other two gigs I have for many years are a little bigger, so I am not quite sure if they are already blooming size.

Good to hear! Once gigs make good roots they can speed up like crazy. If you have a healthy plant they can go from new growth to flowering size growth in no more than two years. And these growths are big. A friend of mine told me that gigs collected in asia can reach 150cm (60in) leaf span.
