i just bought one of those from piping rock....and i think i killed it by placing it in a dish of water like my hybrids.....it didnt look so good and i asked glen what it could be, and he informed me that you dont put wallisii in water like hybrids....duh....its drying out now, but i dont know if it will make it, i hope so...its such a tiny thing....i love the blooms, i hope i can save this one.....

There is a balance between letting it dry out too much and keeping it too wet. They don't like to be dry either

I do sit mine in water. Having said that, mine is in a pot with slits on the sides.

Well thanks Ron, for posting such great pics.

I really love looking at your posts and sometimes when I only have limited time I just scan through for things you've posted, well actually you and Mauro are the main two I look for
