U.reniformis 'large Form' Flowering


Recommended Posts

At last the flowers on my larger U.reniformis are flowering.

I can't see much difference between these and those from the smaller form, except the length of scape which is half again as tall.

congrats, and the secret is...?

I have no idea!

It is planted in a fairly open mix, including bark, seramis and moss, in a 10 inch Waterlily basket (big mistake, the rhizome-like-bit pushes through the holes) and is kept moist through the winter and quite wet in the summer. Full sun and a minimum temp of 5-7C. It gives me flushes of new leaves through out the season and has 6 healthy leaves and a couple of dying/ dead end of season leaves.

One of mine has just finished flowering. I reckon it's due to the long gloomy summer with low light levels being followed by a month or so of decent sun. The plants think it's spring.

One of my Roridula plants has also just finished flowering out of season.
