Tobias Kulig Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 (edited) Hi all, after a long time i'm here again. I want to show you the flower of my P. calyptrata. They comes from the ecuadorian andes. Or better, from the 'Cajas National Park' in Ecuador. The altitude from this park is beginning at 3.152m (!) and ends at 4.445m. Very low temperatures are required for successful growing! At day i have 17 degrees Celsius and at night they drops down to 3-5 dregrees. If it is too warm, they will die very quickly! I achieve these low temperatures in a converted mini fridge with a glass door. Some of you still know it from my U. campbelliana. These are still growing in this fridge with the calyptratas.... best regards Tobias Edited September 5 by Tobias Kulig 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maciej Stelmach Posted September 9 Report Share Posted September 9 What now this is what I call highlander! Lovely plants you got there! Congratulations on managing to achieve such low temperatures to fit their needs. They seem to thrive at your place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
