Den species leafless for a long time

[u bada]

I'm not trying to be difficult... ;P but I've tried a lot already... watering more, withholding water, low light, high light, temps are warmer now overall, higher humidity, low humidity, now I'm trying seaweed baths...

maybe I'm wondering if this is normal behavior for overall these, or any particular one and I just need to be patient?

For instance, has anyone had a den lamyaiae (related to unicum) that literally has stayed leafless and no new growth for almost a year?!!

Try having seasonal light variation for one year. If nothing, then try something else. Changing things all the time could be a problem. As Anon mentioned, change one thing at a time and keep it that way for a longer period. I suggest light variability.

Do you have a picture of these Dens? I grow lots of seasonal Dens (nobile, aggregatum, chrysotoxum) very successfully outside yearround.
