Oophytum oviforme culture

Post by Mafate79 »

Hello all,

Could anyone give me some advice to grow correctly Oophytum oviforme? A friend of mine gave me a pot of this species and she never could make it flower (the plant is about 15 years old if I remember well).

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

Sylvain

Nobody has any experience (even bad) in growing this species?

Sincerely.

Purchased two seedlings of this back in fall, and trying to grow them as cool and bright as possible with periodic misting . I dont know if they will fare but I can update. I could not find anything online either and had to ask California growers what they're doing but their environment is completely different. Have not tried these from seed though, sorry :/

Hello,

Thank you for your answers.

@Mintylemonade: even if their environment is completely different, I would be interested in knowing what California growers do. And of course you would be welcome to update. (tu)

Sincerely.
