Daniel G Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, i unwittingly germinated on of these, and desperately need info, even after reading two or three books, more knowledge would be nice. First of all, has anyone on these forums grown them in Britain, and with what methods? Can they be grown in a greenhouse? (Cold house conditions) Also, and decent tips would be nice. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekon Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think James O'Neill is growing one in his green house as I've seen the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) they are fairly common and easy to grow cold house, yes no problem they need a big pot of gritty compost, dont stand in water once mature, just water every week from above treat it like a sundew until it is a couple of inches high, then treat it like a cactus!

gravanzia Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 As long as it's young it's ok to repot. This will nearly always kill larger plants, they hate root disturbance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 If it's one of those peat pots I wouldn't remove the plant from it at all. Place that pot in the new mix and allow it to biodegrade. Avoids stress on the plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James O'Neill Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Keep it sheltered and aphid free too. Nice big pot, I use a clay pot. I wouldn't recommend root disturbance at all. For me at least, the hard part is keeping it alive as a seedling, it should be easier when its older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place that pot in the new mix and allow it to biodegrade. Avoids stress on the plant. I was planning that Thanks for the input everyone!
