CONGRATS Djthomp28 !!! 😃👍

National Geographic, April 1971

I just wish mine would bloom in cooler weather and get REALLY colorful like yours!

Hi Dave! My experience with these 'rescue centers' is that 1) many plants die under their 'care' (and not just from immediate shipping stress), 2) they share plants freely with universities and research centers, and 3) many plants go out to friends and 'connected people'. They are not bastions...

I've seen several with 2 buds on a stem but no sign of sequential blooming so far.

From our Jamaican friends in FL? They are the Kings of Samara IMO 😃

Gorgeous, gorgeous!!! I'll teach you how to crop screen shots, though. 😄👍

There are plants of Paph. Sandcanh (canhii X sanderianum) out there and the pic I saw was pretty cool: 8" blooming plants in 4"-5" pots with 2-3 flowers on a single spike

I have seen them bloom with as little as 2" leafspan but usually it is 3" ls or more

CONGRATULATIONS Darlene!!

My ~5 unbloomed ones from 2020 are still unbloomed.

KoolLog Thin layer of sphagnum Plant of your choice 40# fishing line or the attachment method of your choice to hold everything in place

I heard they used a thin layer of sphagnum moss to replicate the rocks they naturally grow on.

I have heard that some have had luck growing them with Kool-Logs. https://www.kool-logs.com/

Darleen T. is also there. Orange table behind that has Alan Koch and Eric Cavin. Green t-shirt is Dave Sorokowsky.

Awesome! :D👍

How bright is your light? All my wenshanense and wenshanense aurea have dark leaves, and I grow them < 1000 foot-candles.

Your DW has great color! All of mine bloomed very pale and boring...

When I water, I use only water. I foliar feed 2-3 times a month in summer, and I use a tiny bit of slow release fertilizer in the pots. Regarding cnycharles comment above, I grow Mexipediums hot, humid, and bright!

I grow them in a bark/peat mix, in 3" pots, and water every 5-7 days. The big plant is in an 8" bulb pan with peat/gray rock mix and gets watered the same.
