Project 2015 Spring [main]: Amesiella monticola

[stonedragonfarms]

Here's a pic for you all; the growth on the right initiated in early December; the one on the left started near the end of January. There is another small growth above the growth on the left that just started showing this week. I grow this little guy in my big viv with my coccinea crosses; he sits under a couple of mounted plants on the bottom of the tank. Temps run on the cool side of intermediate, rh is usually 65-75%, lights run 14-16 hours a day. Thanks for looking.

It looks good.

Well my spike may have been a dud but now it's putting out roots like it's on a mission

Hey Judith, just a quick question: Are you keeping it warm or cool ? I have heard both from different sources and I would like to know what's working for you.

I don't really have a firm understanding of what the parameters of warm or cool growing are but our outside temps are pretty similar...last summer except for the few times we turned on the a/c, I would consider I grew it pretty warm. This past winter I would consider that I grew it fairly cool because I keep the thermostat at 64. Not sure how helpful that is but hopefully at least a little

Thanks. Pretty much like I keep mine, but not much going on there.

Mine's growing roots and leaves too!

Has anyone's flowered? Mine had tiny buds that blasted and the spike has stalled. I moved it to an east facing window and have it in a fishbowl with rocks to try and increase the humidity, but it's not doing anything.

Mine almost did. Then my puppy ate the spike.

That's right! Hopefully this will be one to reward us all for our patience.
