Hello,semi 2015

Hello all together, after about one and a half years, the house finally is finished. It really took a damn long time, unfortunately much longer than expected. It has been extremely stressful to plan and to coordinate everything. During this long period, i tried to rebuild my collection again in the basement of the now rebuilt house. The species richness of my collection is of course absolutely not comparable to what i grew in the past. Meanwhile most of the plants from the basement are placed again in the house, only a few African Drosera are still in the basement. Nearly all the South Ame

Hello my friends, i have really bad news about me and my collection. On 15.10.14, there was a major fire here in Bochum, affected was my parents house. Only a few days before i returned from vacation. Here are some links about it: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCEQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmFUAokGYd0Y&ei=XihlVJrRKcj4PKibgOAE&usg=AFQjCNHzdy818wY_jk8JQ9kJnCAQPYhv_g&sig2=CdKNSJ52ITXIQgRfyvP_Ag&bvm=bv.79189006,d.ZWU http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&

More updates of this plant , quite impressive color in the spring.

The whole cutting goes into the bag mate, either straight into some soaked moss or if it's easier, into a pot filled with sphagnum then bag the whole thing up . it's a good idea to try different techniques though so give your water method a try if you have the material. My bagged cuttings are just left in the bag on a bathroom windowsill as its a frosted window. I think direct sun through a window would be damaging so avoid this at this time of year, natural daylight through a window not in direct sun should be fine. Good luck

Nice plant Jcal but I'm sure there was a ' gentleman's agreement ' that you don't include the lid..... I guess it's like including your ball bag when measuring your knob.....

Maxima, tobaica, adnata, truncata, basically anything that grows around 1000m altitude should fine, although you don't mention your actual temperatures. Probably best avoid anything that grows over 2000 m altitude although singalana seems adaptable to house plant conditions. Sometimes you just have to try, different clones of the same species react differently.
