its so cute seeing the flowers just hang ^^
are they naturally bent b/c they got heavy and didnt stand upright? or is this baby just very special?

The stems and buds started out upright, but I think the stems are thinner on this plant than some henryanums I've seen and they bent over under the weight of the expanding buds. Usually I prop them up with florist wire and they are fine once the flowers are open. This time I decided to see what it would look like if I just let them "do their thing".

Yes, CHC = Coconut Husk Chips

I use a potting mix consisting of medium grade coconut husk chips, charcoal, and spongerock.
