I’m spontaneous & unpredictable. I just dump things out every now and then.

I need to learn how to do this.

I need to learn how to do this.

I hold plants until they die lol.
Or send them to my buddy’s ICU .

I have some wonderful news! The first pod which had a threatened pregnancy finally split open tonight and produced tons of seed! Apparently the ‘infection’ was only on surface superficial layer and did not contaminate the dry seeds inside. Gestation was only 4 months which was surprising to me as other species took 6-12 months!



The second pod is one month behind. So hopefully more seeds.

I’m just happy the pods have not weakened the plant as two new growths are emerging nicely.

How exciting! Hangianums all 'round!!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

That is wonderful news, and so quickly that it surprised me. Lets hope the second pod also gives you lots of seed.

 

[GuRu]

Hopefully all seeds will germinate and if they do.....there will be a forest of P. hangianum in your apartment. Lol

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Happy to report that the second pod has matured and on its way to lab.

Also it has 3 new growths!!! It’s clumping!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

That is great news. Any idea how long they need to stay in the lab?

I’d say they will be ready in 1.5 years lol

Thought I’d update the four new growths with this video. Hope it loads!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Sorry, but I can't seem to get this to play. Is it working for others?

 

[Duck Slipper]

I can’t either.

Hmmm not sure what else I can do to make it playable? Maybe take vdo with this forum?

Amazing hangianum Leslie!! I didn’t see this file, but it is impressive. Four new growths means a great culture. What about the seedlings?? Is working on??

Thanks JLOG. It's my second attempt at a hangianum (first one died miserably a decade ago ).

The seeds were sent a few months ago but so far no info on germination yet.

Thanks Martin.

What phone are you using? I uploaded the vdo from iPhone camera. Perhaps its Apple OS compatibility only? I can't play on my computer either with this link.
