Wow , nice plant! How big is the pot it's in, looks to be enjoying ample root room.

They are around 10” square. I got them from ELK and have wished I had bought a lot more. That clone flowers from when it is quite small.

When would you expect these to start flowering? I have one just outgrowing a 10cm pot...

Nice and clean with no nasty black mould on it. How do you manage that?

Ralph- Oddly this one doesn’t seem to develop much of the sooty mould - others do.
Christian - mine started when it was in a 6” half pot which was about as large as most of them reached until I got enough space to repot them all.....
