Question about Den. laevifolium

[gngrhill]

I got a den. laevifolium earlier this year, in bud. The flowers have since gone, the leaves have all gone, and I don't see any sign of new growth. It has been sitting like that for a couple of months. I read of people getting new growths, new leaves, some are blooming. The roots on mine look ok . It's in SM which I keep damp. Is it going to survive or is it on it's way out ?

Thanks. I didn't think these guys rested. Will it rest all winter or just for a while ?

Mine lost all it's buds and leaves but it is putting out a new growth. I try not to keep mine to wet, but I also don't let it stay dry for long.

They do rest. Mine lost all the leaves and then in about a month the little leaves started to grow. My leaves are big now and new ones are still growing. Hopefully it will bloom next. I keep mine in s.moss and wet it a little every morning without getting the p.bulbs or leaves wet. Here is a page with pictures, when we talked about the resting of this plant.

Today, pot 2.25" high x 3.25" deep / 5.7cm x 8.25cm. Roots are growing out the bottom holes. I received it in this pot and medium in bloom in early August. I will repot soon.

Thanks everybody. Takes a load off
Thanks wintergirl for the post, I went back and read the whole thing. I feel much better.

Ok now I have to show you mine

Looking good !
I checked my roots again and they look great. I added a little fresh SM and think I noticed a teeny tiny spot of green in between 3 of the PBs
