Very pretty.
What is the leaf span of this plant?
What is the leaf span of this plant?
Very small for a wilhelminiae (10" max), the plant regress each year and the old shoots die. I am trying to decrease the K in my fertilyser regime. I am looking to buy a new one or a praestan.

10" was pretty normal for my wilhelm (and within the taxonomic description).
But I agree that a shrinking plant not hold growths is a bad sign.
I have mine repotted in a wood slat basket with moss/limestone gravel, and its slowly but surely improving. (That and K-lite feeding).
Is this an individual growth or the whole plant?

Lots of time a mature leaf span (whole growth) on my plant is 6-8".
Wilhelms are supposed to be little stumpy things (with huge flowers!). So when you see plants pushing 14 or more inches they may have been crossed with praetens (glandulifera depending on who's nomenclature).
