Oleksii Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Hi again! There is really one orchid. When I saw it photo first time, I decided to obtain it just when it be possible. But this not main topic of this post. I want to tell about my growing of nelumbifolia and humboldtii in water. humboldtii 25 May - 7 June nelumbifolia In case of humboldtii there progress ( perhaps due to size of plant), nelumbifolia looks growing too, but slowly. The jars are standing between two CFL, but I read that it can be not good. Maybe need they less light in water (when they grow in water-filled leaf axils, they don't have big amount off it)? In future i will pot then more traditionally — in sphagnum. But if anybody have suggestions to this, I'll be very glad. And one more. I noticed that nelumbifolia have some strange dark-purple "thisngs". What can it be? Thanks! Oleksii Edited June 8, 2012 by Oleksii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miloslav Macháček Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 And one more. I noticed that nelumbifolia have some strange dark-purple "thisngs". What can it be?

Oleksii Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thaks for answer. Hm, it is quite close. I have to exam it with magnifying glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Hi again! Yep, that purple things are traps. One mystery is solved :) I didn't expect that my blanchetii would flower so vigorously. So, it compensate size of the flowers :) My nephrophylla also try to bloom. This plant is very persistent. The first flower stalk just dry out. Second was broken, when I was reppoting it. Now there are new three, but it looks that only one will be able to bloom ( I hope) Edited June 25, 2012 by Oleksii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Hi! Please, share your experience of alpina watering. Mine is growing in closed container where is another pot with water, so humidity is high and moss don't dry out. So, have I water this plant regularly, for example once per week or while moss is wet I can do nothing? And what way of watering is preferable: place pot into glass with water for some time or just pour water through pot? Thanks Oleksii Edited July 1, 2012 by Oleksii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi to all! I have question about nephrophylla. It was quite good, but now it become dry out and all flower-stalks except one stop develop and become dry too. Too much light? Any advice is appreciated Thanx!

Oleksii Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 My dichotoma is ready to flower Few days left :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hm-hm. It looks that Utric, which is going to bloom, is not dichotoma. First doubt I got when saw flower stalk - it had other apperiance. Flower hasn't opened yet, but it very similar with my blanchetii (Chapada Diamantina), only a bit bigger and have some violet color. Tomorrow will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) The plant is flowering. Am I right saying that it is blanchetii? In comparison with my U.blanchetii (Chapada Diamantina) Sincerely, Oleksii Edited July 29, 2012 by Oleksii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hi! Finally, my first Utric. blooms. It need identification. Is it subulata? I am not sure, because photos on cpp looks a bit different. Or, maybe it is not fully opened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzyki1991 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 (edited) I have got identical Utricularia, I'm curious what species is this. This flower looks like Utricularia bisquamata on this photos. I'm waiting for more experienced users. Edit: Definitely is not subulata.

Oleksii Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for reply. I agree that it isn't subulata - it has a bit different shape and colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatEye Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I think this is a form of Utricularia bisquamata. One form has small, almost white flowers. It self polliantes and becomes a weed, so keep it away from other utricularia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks for identification. I know about weedy feature of this Utric, so will keep attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabryberty Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 hi guys, i start to grow utricularia terrestrial.. can you write me what's the best substrate for grow this species? Thanks so much! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksii Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I usually use mix peat: quartz sand - 1:1 or with excess of peat. Two species — longifolia and nephrophylla I also grow in pure sphagnum. Edited October 5, 2012 by Oleksii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
