Spring 2009 Project -chat notes

just a comment, regarding one of the plants proposed... I have had this plant for 2 years without much success: it has grown very well but buds blasted all the time.. I have discussed with several friend groing it, and the feedback was always the same (you can also see it here in OB too): this plant needs high humidity to bloom! I use automatic misters, 4 - 5 times per day, and still no chance to see flowers opening properly...
It was not untiul I built my vivarium, that the plant started to feel very good, and has flowered twice already (in less than 4 months!)...

I am not say it is not possible to grow without vivarium, but it can be difficulkt and frustrating for many members (especially for newbies!)

just my two cents...
