Could you share your culture method, please? I remember that you stand them in water, I think.....but how much light? And food?

Cheers,

Alex

I don't have a light meter, but they get very low light amounts, a little more in summer. Almost no fertilizer actually, i found out that 1/8 or so every two weeks is ok, but I am not taking this too serious. Sometimes they don't get any for two months.
Yes, constantly wet. They stand all in a tray with water and I fill it at 1cm, and fill it again if it is evaporated. From this point of view: very easy species. (Almost) no fertilizer, watering every two weeks and low light somewhere in the corner of your greenhouse.
Will make a selfing of this one and sow it. Or if someone has pollen of an anitum that is just standing around in bloom by accident -> send me the pollen please :D
 
How long have you had this plant? and how big was it back then?
I read that this is a very slow one, so I want to have an idea as I like flowers on this species.
 
Thank you for that, polyantha! Very useful. Your plant is beautiful, I'll show the picture to my small seedlings.

Mine will bloom but it's only in very low bud, so I think it will be opened at least a couple weeks after you... I would be happy to share pollen with you if your flower can last long enough! :wink:

That would be awesome. Can you PM me your email address and I will tell you when it is in bloom and I will send you the pollen of mine too.
