UtricSeb Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Finally my U.fulva is blooming. At first I tried growing it at home in the highlands but it just barely survived. After moving it to warmer conditions at my fathers house, it started to grow fast and now it is also producing flowers. A very nice and unusual species, very easy to grow with the right conditions (warm temperatures): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Napraforgo Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Congratulations! Mine is growing but still very slowly, I'm thinking of repotting it for faster growth. Any fragrance detected out of these flowers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan P Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Wow, that has to be one of the most beautiful Utric's I have seen - Congratulations!

UtricSeb Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hi, thanks for all your nice comments. Napraforgo: I have not tried smelling the flowers, but will let you know if I can detect any kind of fragrance. Deadly Weapon: I am just using a 1:1 quartz sand:sphagnum mix, rain water, direct sun all day long and temps around 18-20 C night 25-32 C day. The pot is always standing on son centimeters of water.

Deadly Weapon Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks! Sounds like this plant would be worth of a try for me. My terraria has almost exactly the same conditions that you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
