More like spring …

Looks almost like a suk so you’re close lol.

Not sure, let me confirm with the guide. Ok just found out they bloom only once Feb/March.

I think this population here has thicker leaves.

Btw it’s Colombia, with an ‘o’.

Yes that’s the normal practice there with the manure. There are many people in local villages around this habitat who save the plants from the forest floor, that was knocked off by wind or storms, and establish them on their garden trees. In fact, many of the exceptional cultivars were bought...

Cernua has to get a little water in morning and dry completely by night. So based on your growing area, keep this in mind if you use moss or not. You can search for posts on my cernua flava mounted on cork.
