The only credit I get on this is that I have kept it alive as I bought this plant in very low sheath at a show from Ten Shin (they were selling lots of micranthum and armeniacum, but I picked the one and only plant that was in low sheath out of the box haha) in January.
It was bare root and I didn't expect it to develop due to all the stress it had gone through.
To my surprise and delight, the little thing that looked nearly dead and dry for nearly two months started to develop fast since about two weeks ago!
It did have a very big root system for a single growth plant. Maybe that helped.
I hope the pouch won't be sagging down low on this bloom.
I potted them both of them up in orchiata, pertlie, hydroton and top dressed with sphagnum moss.
Placed by the bright window with widow open so that they stay as cold as possible.
I now have a few plants of this species from different vendors and these two latest ones are the largest at 9 inch leaf span.
All are supposedly a blooming size but some are amazingly small, which I prefer, but they all have beautifully marked leaves.
