Paph micranthum

[L I Jane]

Finally in all these years,I have been able to bloom one of these from scratch.I've had tons of little seedlings but they always died before any got big enough to bloom but always sent out little plants.I'll bet it's been over 20 plus some years.Drove me crazy.

I picked some regular moss around the outside of greenhouse a couple of years ago or more & stuffed it in the pot that had 2 growths.Not sure if this did the trick but I'm going to do it again this summer for a couple of other single growths of micranthum that I have to see what happens.

Looks good in sure we'll worth the wait as well.

Congratulations.

Was it grown completely in moss or just as a top dressing?

 

[My Green Pets]

You must have the patience of Jobe to wait that long ------- but, looking at this micranthum, it was well worth the time. Keep us informed regarding the common moss!!

What a reward Jane! 20 years is a crazy long time to wait, and you got a nice one in the end.

The moral of the story for me is that our lives are too damned short.

The moral of the story is that you have to keep buying until you land on that one plant that will grow and bloom for you. hahaha
