Great shape and Very nice clear colors (not so washed-out as one sees too often) !!!! Jean
The last one is specialy beautiful.
David: I´ve always found henryanum extremely slow, even when they´re adult plants.
I´ve killed 3 henrys in 4 years. I´m unable to keep this species alive (and pretty much the same for my only tranlienianum, that is starting growing after having lost its roots in 2012) so... for me keeping a henry from flask to flowering size is a kind of magic. Congrats!
I know some of you will laugh at me for this (don´t worry, I do it!!) but... this is so far the most difficult species I have.
I don´t know if it´s because of me (probably this is the main problem) or because of my growing conditions... but I´ve decided not to waste money, time and ilusion in this species any more (and that´s a pity because I like it a lot).
I still have 2 plants. Let´s see how many time I need to kill them too.
Thanks for sharing your successful story.
My big concern with these, and my translienianums, is getting them to grow on after first flowering. The plants aren't strong and they are basically flowering on single growths. I seem to be really struggling to get them going again after they flower. The new growths can take a long time to commence, and when they do are very prone to rot.
