Problem with dollgoldii

[troy]

This is treated the same as all my others, yet it is very different, is this genetic?

This looks too big to be a Dollgoldii ---- unless the one I have is too small!!!
Will try and find a pic of mine.

Had this some 5yrs it now has 5 growths and the leafspan is 34cms. Is this dollgoldii or a straight armeniacum??

Ed, you have a dollgoldii, no way thats an armeniacum

Looks like typical Dolgoldi

Sometimes Dolgoldi plant genetics favor Roth and have bigger growth.

The growth is growing stolonous out of itself

Not a problem...looks like a happy plant

It is not growing "stolonous" out of itself. The stem it stretching by growing extra length between each leaf node.
The cause may be too little light.
Or it may be because you are applying some form of "stimulant" that causes cells to stretch lengthwise.

What Lance says.
Just stretching a bit.

It would be logical to think this is caused by low light, but...
I have had a couple of plants ( one Maudiae hybrid, one parvi hybrid) and they were both among many others in very bright light.
So the cause might just be plant being crazy. lol

Just visited Theresa Hill and her Dollgoldii were HUGE!!!!!!! The flowers were easily 6+inches and the leaf span was probably pushing two feet.

I got it from her, the looonnngggg crown of this one is stiff like it's an inflourescence but it just keeps elongating

Yikes! Roth genes kicking in, I guess.

I got one from her a couple of years ago. One growth mature plant, now 7 growths plant with about one foot wide. And I thought it was too big for me.
Hasn't flowered yet, although it made this fake sheath last year. I think I see one or two more sheaths now.

I got the piece of crap plant, free plus shipping

 

[Happypaphy7]

Just an odd stretching. You don't know if it's a crap yet.

 

[troy]

I've had it 2 years all it did is stretch, everything else I've had for 2 years has grown tremendously, want it? I paid 45.00. I'll give it to you free + shipping, I'm not to happy at beiing sold a piece of **** plant

How much light do you give it? In my experience these need quite a bit of light. Other than that it looks perfectly healthy. Try a brighter spot and I bet it starts growing normally.....and blooms.

 

[troy]

It's with all my other plants 10 inches under a dual t8 full spectrum light fixture

 

[MorandiWine]

$45 for a DG that size seems reasonable, especially knowing that Theresa sold it. She generally has fantastic plants.

I agree that more light is needed as most DG's tend to lean more to the roth side of things light-wise. Two T-8's aint gonna cut it for roths and many roth hybrids. Sorry for the bluntness, but.......

Moreandiwine, I'm gonna take a picture of all my plants and post them here for you, including roth hybrids I use epsom salts in low doses every weekend with my fertilizer
