One of my local "dealers" has cautioned me about the flavum or alba forms saying they were "harder to grow". Yet, I am always wanting to but the yellow besseae because of it's surreal beauty.

Have you found anything "harder" to grow this form? If so, what does that entail?

Thanks Jeff

Jeff,

We've had both the orange form and yellow form, and they have both performed well for us. We definitely keep our moist all the time.

Good luck!
