Tropfrog Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 I really didnt expect this to happen! Bought a small clump of this species some 4-6 weeks ago. By reputation really hard species. Now to my supprice it is in Bloom. Is it struggeling for its life after transit, or did I do something right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Fantastic. Let's hope you did something right! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Thanks, yes lets hope. I realized looking at the photo, that there are one new leaf Since potted. That is promising. Do anyone know if jamesoniana can be self pollinated. And....how?

Guy Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Lovely! How are you keeping it? Temperature, light etc. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I just had the plant for 6 weeks. So maybe the blooming was triggered by the conditions in transit? Anyway. It is in a seed tray with clear plastic lid. Like those ones sold for young seedlings. It sits in a few mm of water. So proboably high humidity and stagnant air. It is placed in my basement where this time of the year is 15-16 degrees. The old t5 aquarium light used proboably raise it a few degrees during the day. This is just a temporary setup as I am building a rack with 4 terrariums with better light right now. Today the flower looked like it was ready so I tried to self polinnate it. I have to get back on the result. Br Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropfrog Posted December 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 I am quite sure now that this species is possible to self pollinate. Most of the flower have fallen of, but a young seed capsule is forming. Great news, now I can test a lot of different growing medias and conditions!

Tropfrog Posted December 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Seed capsule is swelling now. First time I could take a good photo with my old phone. Do anyone know how long they take to ripen? And what to do with the seeds for best germination? Br Magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
