D tubaestylis sprouting

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I acquired a D. tubaestylis tuber at the CPS AGM in April & put it in a drawer. A month or so ago I added a drop of water to the little bit of sphagnum I had put in with it (as this seemed to have dried out), but now it appears to have started growing:

I presume I have confused it by suddenly increasing the humidity, but I'm not sure what to do with it now :?

Should I pot it up & let it start growing normally, even though it will effectively be growing at the wrong time of year (for where it is currently living), or can I leave it as it is in the drawer for the next few months & plant it at the 'proper' time for the northern hemisphere?

Cheers,

Andy.

Plant it now. It is not unusual for the rosetted species to emerge from dormancy this early.
