You mean to tell me that armeniacums bloom? I thought they just turn brown one leaf at a time.

 

[Greenpaph]

Always nice to see!

thanks

 

[SlipperKing]

yeap it bloomed alright. Any secrets you want to give up? Like, did you chill the plant down?

I got this from Tom two years ago when he was winding things down. It is still in the same 4" pot that I got it in and the same mix. It is now nine growths. My secret? I grow phals and don't care about it . My night time temps this winter have not gotten below 65 and it is almost always still wet when it gets watered again - sometimes I actually remember to put it aside when I water the greenhouse. Sorry if this does not help... I was sort of disappointed I only had one bloom... now, I am grateful. It is much nicer in person.

The plant looks in great condition! I'm surprised that it's so compact, as mine is in a basket, and frequently puts out new growths out of the side! When you repot it, it will be interesting as to whether you have lots of attempted spreading events underneath!

Good growing, and a great flower :clap:

I don't think there is anyone who doesn't appreciate a blooming armeniacum! :smitten:

:rollhappy: Is this the exact opposite of what we'd expect or give it? Sounds like this one is thriving on near neglect?! ........ are we pampering too much?

Rose, I guess some plants are meant to be neglected...

That's such a gorgeous armeniacum... Makes me regret not being able to bloom it where I live... I wish my micranthum looked 1 tenth as gorgeous as your plant...
