Leptotes Pohlitinocoi
I purchased this plant as a NBS seedling in May 2013. It did not do well in a pot, but took off once I mounted it. It missed the two NJ shows this year, and probably won't last to the SEPOS show.

I forgot to mention, I counted 19 bulbs with buds while I was waiting for it to open.

Nicely done. I have one but it's sulking a bit... What are your cultural recommendations?

I grow in a greenhouse. I mount all Leptotes on cork or bark, with a bit of spaghnum around the roots. We water once a week in winter, and twice a week in summer. We water with a light dose of fertilizer (Peters 20:20:20) every two weeks (once a month Dec-Feb).
