thinking of getting catt. skinneri

[InnaK]

Thank you for the link on dowiana, extremely helpful indeed. Mine are from H&R as well, and v. aurea, the information gives me hope that it might work for me. My dowiana seedling are outside now, they are happy in hot and humid NJ summer for now, and they are definitely taking the exposure to direct sun in the morning and afternoon very well. I have tried total dryness before on dowiana seedlings as it was suggested by some experienced growers, but that didn't work in my conditions, they failed to produce new growths and withered away

Most welcome InnaK!

I captured a couple of shots this morning - just showing the aurea, in scoria. A couple of new sprouts are coming out ---- one in the middle of the close-up, and one toward the right-hand-side. Still sort of winter time here - but still doing something.

Our winter in the tropics here don't get that cold! It's nothing when compared with winter of snow countries!

Thank you for sharing dowiana pictures, I so hope to grow mine to bloom size. I am very excited for yours, hope to see your blooms when in season.

what a beautiful display this skinneri put up, and the flowers are not that small actually. Thank you all for helping with the decision, I will call H&R shortly for the order, maybe will pick something else with skinneri, to keep it company during the journey.
