(See last year’s thread - https://www.forum.bcss.org.uk/viewtopic ... &start=150 almost exactly a year ago)
I spotted the buds about 6 or 7 weeks ago, when the plant was out on the bench. Cold weather in August prompted me to put it in the propagator for safety, and I’ve been watching developments ever since.
These are such frustrating plants to grow - they seem to cut contact with their root systems on a regular basis, and, although the top growth doesn’t rot (unless really overwatered) they have to be rooted all over again. I suppose it’s a survival mechanism in habitat.
From what I’ve read on various FB forums, they do need plenty of water when in bud, so I’ve been diligent in making sure it doesn’t dry out.
Just hoping I haven’t given it the “kiss of death” by posting this now!
