Yes, I live in France and the plant is blooming actually. Did you ever see them in the wild in your country? There are real beauties among this genus.

Thanks! Thelymytra species are summer dormant and rest as tubers during this period. At this time, you must keep them completely dry. New leaves will emerge in late summer, then you can water regularly and fertilize once a month with low EC level (around 0.3 mS/cm) like for Disa species...

Hi fibre, thank you very mu Hi fibre, thank you very much for your help. So I will try to maintain my bellatulum with lower temperatures. What temperature would you recommend for winter days? And how long should be the rest? Finally, do you have some recommandations to grow P. concolor and P...

Hi GuRu, just to let you know, I live in a town situated just a little more South of the southern part of Germany. You can look for Niort in Google Maps, I am very close of this city.

Hello GuRu, Thank you very much for your help. I didn’t think that, even at this season here in France, light could be too high for it. Of course, during summer, my plant is further away from the window pane. For instance, actually, there is a bract ready to produce a flower but nothing is...

Ok, thank Philippe you for these details. So I keep my fingers crossed because a new bud is here and light is quite good at this time of year. What temperature do you give it? Regards, Sylvain

Very nice, congrats! How do you proceed to make it bloom? The buds of mine are always very slow growers and finally dry when still small long before their final size... However, my plant grows very well. Thank you for your help. Regards. Très joli, bravo ! Comment fais-tu pour le faire fleurir...

Ok, I will try this, thank you Tom.
