M. schiedeana v. plumosa seedlings

[SimonT]

I kept these seedlings indoors over the winter - they looked too small to take a cold rest.
They ended up flowering most of the winter in the seed tray- the time taken from sowing to flowering was almost exactly 12 months.
This picture was taken today.
Hopefully I can get them to set some seed...

They look great, well done!

I'd enter that picture in the monthly photo competition

Amazing plants, and these are only yearlings!

Flowering better than my old plant

Thanks for the comments and the suggestion.

I'm sure I have read that these do better when watered over the winter.

By the way, if you have a spare one, I'm looking to replace one I lost, so would be happy to do a swap if I have anything that interest you...

Hi Ralph
I'd be happy to send a spare plant out to you.
Probably best to wait until after the worst of the cold weather has passed?

They are looking great.

I have found them to need to be dried out in good time for winter, and that they flower unwatered. I suppose each grower and each greenhouse is different I keep mine at +5 deg. C and don't get a lot of winter sunshine.

Thanks! Much appreciated. Please do get in touch when you think it's safe!
