gardenofeden Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 what location do you have planned? High humidity is a killer for these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petesredtraps Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I echo what Stephen says-where do you plan keeping it? My Roridula is on a south facing windowsill in an unheated well ventilated room, it is VERY happy there. The plant wants to be in a standard CP mix but with added sand (about a third), water from the top and keep the substrate just damp.Hope this helps. Pete.
