This cultivar is wonderful. The way the laterals arch reminds me, by turns, of a crab spider set to pounce, a dancing crane and then, naturally, of the famous Karate Kid move. I have a nice happy division of one of the original pieces and would love this one, if you’re parting with divisions. Regarding keeping it in the mix, I agree that high light is important but it also needs to be happy about the mix when the butt of the stolon touches down. I have kept mine clumpy by waiting until it’s long, then bending it down over the course of a couple weeks, then gently placing a piece of granite heavy enough to hold the butt against the mix but not heavy enough to break or crush the stolon. I’ve broken a couple; oops. I also never, ever get water in the crowns.

Stunning! What enchantment are you using?

 

[NYEric]

Nice. I suck at these. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning! What enchantment are you using?

Fresh human blood. Preferably from children, but getting it can be a pain in the arse.

 

[tnyr5]

Well, this got just a bit ridiculous. I put it into a deep 18in tray with extra drainage holes poked in. Grow out of that, ya f#%@!

 

[My Green Pets]

Seeing this very happy plant and its beautiful flowers is pure joy!!! Good luck growing it to the edges of its new pot!

 

[tnyr5]

Tis in sheath again with at least 8 spikes.

Just read through this entire thread and it's crazy seeing how much larger it is compared to the start! I recently got a small division in a 2 inch pot and just hoping for new growth! Current conditions in my enclosure float around 70 F and 60-65% RH, so fingers crossed!

 

[PaddyK]

Looks very good and compact, what conditions do you keep it in( apart from the frig that is!) mine seem to be slow to establish I keep mine in a large wardian heated case I try to keep it around 25 Deg C with around 50% rh, I spray them every couple of days to keep the compost moist
they lit with T8 tubes. I'm wondering about lighting and air movement. Living in the North of England is a challenge climate wise
Thanks

Finally growing well, plenty of runners and now flowers

 

[tnyr5]

Getting there, still waiting on a few more spikes.

 

[tnyr5]

Well, that didn't take long.

 

[tnyr5]

Damn thing's a salad

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Please pass the dressing!

 

[BrucherT]

Wow love it. You seem to grow them pretty wet, in a very fine mix? Impressive. I’m trying to figure out what the black pot situation is off to the right in the photo; black pot seems to be munching into the big pot?

 

[tnyr5]

Pieces fall off when I repot, just trying to save it.

 

[NYEric]

Save some to NYC.

Right but are my eyes deceiving me or have you somehow cantilevered that black pot over the lip of the main pot?
