linuxman Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I've kept my P. gypsicola and P. cyclosecta bone dry this winter. When is a good time to start watering? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I have P. gypsicola. I've been keeping mine bone dry over the winter for about a week at a time then giving it a little bit of water. No idea if I'm doing it right or not. As for watering it normally then I'd wait for the leaves to start changing to carnivorous ones. I reckon the best person to ask would be Dianne. That's who I got mine from. If I'm speaking to her tonight I'll ask for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 As usual I've been watering all my Mexican Pings on and off throughout the winter, less than during the growing season for sure but I still like to keep them moist. P Cyclosecta is flowering at the moment...doesn't seem right to reward all its hard work by keeping it bone dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoLongFairWell Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Martin, I was speaking to Dianne tonight and she said she started giving a little water a couple of weeks ago to start waking them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hud357 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) Odd plant gypsicola. Got one for my 'terrarium' which is warm enough for Neps and it has gone dormant. I have moved it to a cool windowsill for the moment. Strange that it headed into dormancy in an entirely artificial environment though. Did it go into dormancy because of the higher temps? That is my current theory. It 'figured' that it was Mexican Summer and so time to go dormant. Edited February 23, 2015 by Hud357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Martin, I was speaking to Dianne tonight and she said she started giving a little water a couple of weeks ago to start waking them up. OK, I'll take Dianne's advice as that's where the P. gypsicola came from anyway. They're both still green so they've not died from being dry.
