Fantastic!

Looks good, what size pot is that?

It's a 5 inches deep and 4,5 inches wide pot.

 

[NYEric]

Not that big. How long have you been growing it?

 

[@n@iwod]

It is a compact one. My experience is very short in growing sand (3 years max).

 

[NYEric]

3 years and blooming on a small single growth. That's a good one then!

 

[@n@iwod]

That doesn't mean it took 3 years to bloom from seedling and maybe the word “single growth” must be defined more precisely: single growth from seedling, division, if on new little new growth died (fungus, bacterial, ..) the main growth is still a single growth or not ?

It’s true that French people are well known to understand and speak a perfect English

More seriously, it happened to me to see (rarely), photos of sanderianum single flower growth, ruling out any hypothesis malicious!

If I take the example of stonei, I've never seen a flower on a single growth plants. That must exist i suppose?

 

[NYEric]

I believe it's still a 'single-growth' plant. I think some plants initiate the spike when there are multiple growths. Plus yours looks a lot smaller than sanderianums I've seen blooming, in photos.

 

[@n@iwod]

I totally agree with you. I was surprised too, to see a single growth plant initiate a spike and this sand is very compact.

I have seen by my eyes very compact roths too. It shoudl be the same for this sand.

I am really very far from being an expert on sand. I think some people here could better enlighten us on this issue

Thanks so much for posting these pics! I have never seen a sanderianum in flower, and never the bud progression! Fantastic!
