Thank your question.Unfortunately pollination was unsuccesful.But about another rarity, robinsonianum, seems to be succesful.
Well that’s awesome and maybe next time! A lot of people in the states seem to have these rungas and I’m confused about the status of flasks at this point. It’s probably still not allowed and yet I have seen photos of compots. No one I know personally. Sigh.

To me one of the most cutie paph around, and yours Is really well grown.
May you give some more info about the medium? What kind of gravel? And for basalt you mean black lava scoria?

For now I have yet to find a nursery that carries It in catalogue!(Europe area)

Exotic Plant Company had them, now out of stock. If you contact them they might be able to get you one.

Thank you Justine, have had a look at EPC but for now it's sold out, maybe next spring.

Yes, i grow it in mix of gravel and crushed basalt.It is grey lava rock, 2-3 mm crushed basalt is used on icy roads for crash prevention. I grow my canhii in this mix, too.It loves it too, i will send pic if i m at home. Gravel is fine gravel, cca. 1-1,5 mm classed gravel.
