C. harrisoniana

After a few years of figuring this plant out, I finally got it to bloom again. Had to stake the spike because the base of it is weak and bent over. The wait was worth it, just need to figure out how to avoid having a weak spike on the next bloom.

Congratulations! Is that 'volcano queen'??

Whats your secret? I just trashed mine. It sat there for years trying to grow and failing while all the other bifoliates were popping off. It did bloom a couple times but the plant was just so pitiful and I couldnt turn it around.

Thank you! It is an unnamed seedling from Brookside. I had it in a windowsill for quite a while, but it never looked great. I put it in my grow room that maintains 45-50% humidity, temperatures around 75 day, and 65 nights, in a spot that it just gets blasted by the lights. Fertilizer regimen is K-lite @25 PPM N with every watering, Kelpak and Quantum total monthly. With the Kelpak, the aerial roots look like little brooms.

I am looking for a C. harrisoniana var. alba if anyone knows of any for sale from a reputable source…or willing to sell me a division of theirs.
