Hi List
I have a question I hope some of you can answer.
I received seed from the British CPS that stated it was Pygmaea and
Sp. Beermullah mix.
From these seeds (sown in April this year), 1 solitary plant emerged
(conditions - full sunlight, temp max 28C during day, temp min 10C
during night - 50-60% humidity).
My question is this - What will happen to this plant when the winter
comes - I understand that the dormancy period is supposed to be the
summer in it's native habitat, and then starts to grow again in the
cooler months. Will the plant simply maintain it's current growth
rate until next summer (when presumably it should go into it's resting
stage) or will it just bite the dust.
The (tiny) plant is a rosette with deep vermillion leaves, and it has
forced up the tiniest of flowers! (1mm) - does this description sound
like Beermullah sp. or Pygmaea.
Thanks to anyone that can help
Leigh
