I, too, think it most likely to be 4N.So cute! Looks 4n.
Culture tips?
S. acuensis is a good substitute..., It is an intermediate to cool grower. It has smaller flowers but far better/easy grower and bloomer.I, too, wish it was easier to grow.

Mine was a normal one...I have never seen a 4N acuensis. In terms of culture, the normal S. coccinea and 4N one are just about the same.Is there a 4n version of S. acuensis?
I might have an acuensis or pygmae in my Winerium. Never bloom though and smothered in moss.S. acuensis is a good substitute..., It is an intermediate to cool grower. It has smaller flowers but far better/easy grower and bloomer.
"Winerium" is such a small enclosed growing area... some species or genera may not like such an environment...perhaps you will have better luck if you grow them outdoors during the warmer months in Toronto. Seasonal changes can do a lot of good...S. coccinea and its relatives are more like an intermediate grower in the summer months, drying them out slightly between watering is beneficial. "smothered in moss" or constant wet isn't a good way to grow them IMO. They need good light and air movement too. I grew mine(coccinea and acuensis,,,) in a small clay pot with bark mix(small and medium barks, sponge rock, and some charcoal).I might have an acuensis or pygmae in my Winerium.

Unfortunately I live on the 19th floor with balcony facing south. Temperatures there in summer can get up to 30-35C in heat of sun. So this recommendation is almost impossible.
