Cuitlauzina

[Stone]

anyone grow Cuitlauzina pendula and have no trouble flowering it?

 

[SlipperFan]

Good question -- I hope someone can answer it!

 

[Shiva]

I had a big one and it flowered every summer. Never had any trouble with it. Sold it when I decided to close the g/h for winter. It needs a cold, dry rest in winter and I couldn't do that in the house.

How about light during the rest period, Michel?

 

[Shiva]

Winter light: Whatever nature gave out. I never had artificial light in the G/H. But then, it always flowered in summer in medium shade.

Did you withhold water while the spike was developing?

Do you mean dry as in bone dry? How many months? What is the humidity? I just got one and don't want to kill it like I did my last one!

No need to withhold water in spike since the spikes comes out with the new growths.

I mean let it dry for two or three weeks before watering again. Humidity at least 60%. One more important thing: better pot it in a basket in coarse chunks of bark. The basket should be large enough for the plant to grow for many years in it.
