Leptotes pohlitinocoi
I spent over a year trying to figure out what it and its brother bicolor wanted.
They wanted this on a heatmat

Immediately started working on this

Soon followed by these

and this
The bicolor being more melodramatic, suffered more and is slower. I do see new tissue, so that's good.

Lovely!
I have both too. I know they like warm. How much light do you give yours? Mine have good growth and are in the mini glass house on a seedling heating mat to keep the humidity high and the temps a little higher. No blooms yet.

Thanks for your compliments!
Carrie,
It was sitting on the windowsill heatmat but I got worried I'd forget if we had a cold snap. It sits under a light for now at about 2000 fc but it can take more.

Beautiful plant!I have several bicolors in different situations and find my best plants are the mounted ones. One I have in moderately bright light in the high 60s low 70s in a fairly dry area is producing the most spikes. Another I'm keeping at similar temps but humid and very bright (3" from a T5HO) is growing faster and getting tiny red dots all over. The longer I have these the more I like them! By the time I'm eating something flavored with the seed pods it could be my fave!
