Den pierardii rest

40 F is absolutely okay, from experience I can say this species tolerates down to at least 25 F though I wouldn't recommend it. Blooms are cued by a combination of cool and dry, but this and some related species can be rot prone if watered too much while dormant so keeping them on the dry/very dry side tends to be safer. Good luck!

I kept it quite dry, lots of light. The room it's in only gets down in the 60s. Per ES I misted the roots occassionally. I was told by a grower that it really was to small to bloom. Next year it'll go to the greenhouse ( thrown to the wolves). Thanks!
