I'd love to see a picture. I ordered the PrimeAgra and some fertilizer I'll be using and am hoping to transfer it to s/h this weekend if it gets here in time.

I have my Phrag in lava rock in s/h and it loves it. I got it as a seedling, and have been waiting for years for it to bloom. It has been in the lava rock for more than a year now, and I have hopes that after waiting over 7 years it may finally bloom. I flush it well with clear water once a week, drain off the water and fertilize weakly.

This is the Phrag. Mem. Dick Clements in s/h. Not too shabby for less than five months of growth. Remember this had no spike and almost no roots when I got it.

Would love to see a PIC.
