Second flowering, one more flower than last time. I am astonished how vigorous this plant is. It took less than two years to flower from a small seedling and then the tiny new lead flowered a year later.
I have this cross too and agree that it is a fast grower when happy - mine gave me four blooms off a relatively small first growth. Unfortunately Ozpaph is also right, it seems to have little rot resistance. I had to hack off it’s second growth to save the plant and after finally nursing it to give two more new growths, one of those has rotted! Hard plant to mature...
I wonder if the lowii aureums have this rot tendencies? So far my 4 plants are ok. Touch wood!
Vigorous yet prone to rot. Almost like the two don't belong in the same sentence lol.I have a couple of others clones of lowii that I have had for 15 years or so and have never looked like rotting. For whatever reason these 'Grand Masterpiece' crosses from Sam are highly prone to rot. At the same time they seem to be much more vigorous than most other lowii's.
Among my favorite multis for its colorful graceful flowers.
The dark backdrop works the best with these flowers!
Mine is in bloom and have to say the plant is tough as nail withstanding frequent (yet unintended) neglect and repeated underwatering.
Awesome, curious what the dimensions are .
