Hi Mark, thanks you for your future pics. :) I need these plants watering so often becouse the soil is quietly dry and flower stalks (at this time) going down. You have probably different conditions so make your own decision about watering. :) best regards Dalibor

Hi Mark, Thank you for compliment. :) You can saw my winter growing on the photo in my topic (http://www.dalkan.cz...G_8278-copy.jpg). Southern windowsill, no additional extra lights (maybe a little bit from terrarium with the chameleons) Temperature and humidity you can see here http://www.dalkan.cz...2013-12-23.xlsx (every month has its own sheet). Soil mixture is peat:silica sand 1:2, in the pot is approx 1cm drainage and no water level through all winter time. Watering only from the top, just to make the soil wet. Maybe once every three or four days. This winter will be different due to buying dehuminifier. You can see this year´s seedling on previous photo too. They are not quite tall, but looks very healthy. I think that yours seedling are bigger than mine. ;) Merry Christmas to all Dalibor

It is not necessary to do smoke treat for R. gorgonias if the seeds are fresh.

First time flowering P. kondoi / reticulata

Hi Mark I sowed several seeds of R. gorgonias in mixture of peat and silica sand 1:2. They germinated very quickly in three weeks. I´m not using any chamber or special lights or anything else. Using square 4x4 cm pots filled with the soil and put in 1cm of water. Seeds were sowed on top and slightly pushed into the soil for better contact. Success in my conditions is 99,5% Download/open attached file (xls) and you can see temp and humidity of growing conditions. I have seeds only on northern windows sill. Just direct sunshine (if shining). Air movement? Seeds needs any? ;-) No special conditions to germinating :) http://www.dalkan.cz/2013-web.xls But seedlings require other conditions Happy growing Dalibor

Hi Adam, as I wrote, it is a best place I have ever seen. :) It was an intention to hide this locality. Sorry for this, but you are wrong. This is not in Czech republic. ;) Regards Dalibor
