Re: Dorsteniia Gigas

Wow, such BEAUTIFUL plants- thank you Gillian & Pijaya . The picture of the flowers is wonderful, lets hope I can manage to keep mine as long, ( doubtful but hopeful) so how many plants do you keep for your breeding nucleus and how do you manage to catch the seed ?. My dorstenai's are always sel...

Re: Concerned...

I had RSM on my Brighamsi insignis( these are RSM magnets) and I used washing up liquid ( diluted) which worked really well, had to spray every day, including the whole body of plant & gravel.
I did use another insecticide but it burnt the leaves which is why I tried the 'fairy' method.
