From what I hear, and in my experience, it is HARD to hurt the plant with it. I think that's what you meant to say.


As far as watering everyday- look at the plant, it should tell you if it's happy. Roots, bulbs, leaves, how's everything doing?

the roots

Well you must be doing something right...my two new leads are slow to grow. One decided to rot before coming out of the sheath and it killed the leaf but I still have a small p-bulb and the other one I am still waiting for the leaf to emerge. I may die of old age before it decides to kick into gear. I don't think mine likes me.

lol " its like mutiny!!" lol :) mine is really growing fast.

what are your conditions? a guy at the OS said humidity is a big factor

Becca 07-21-2010 10:02 PM

My humidity maintains around 60% give or take a little and my temps are intermediate. I try to give it bright light, but thought I would let it get established before giving it super bright light. The roots look like they are doing their thing so that is good. I just need to be patient probably. I want to grow it outside during the warmer weather, but right now it is a little too warm, in the mid to high 90's or low 100's for the next couple of months. I don't have the humidity outside to be able to grow it out in those kind of temps and I cant' stay home from work to spray it down to keep it humid outside...lol.
