COME ON, people, I can't be the only one who still has this plant! Especially considering it's waaaaay more cooperative than the Amesiella monticola was!



You're not! Mine's growing new leaves and roots like crazy.

Mine is doing well, too. It gets one new cuke after the other and is getting some nice roots. It has not bloomed yet but I don't really mind.
Has anyone had this bloom?

I didn't get mine for the project... but the one I got a few months ago is steadily losing all its cukes. :< Need to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

What conditions are you giving it?

Got mine bareroot from a show last year. After reading that it grows on the underside of a branch which overhangs a source of water,I put it on cork,placed it over a dish of water under lights and have been getting new roots and pbulbs. Not sure where blooms would come from but some growths are smooth,not bumpy so these may be flowers!?!

Mine's growing very slowly and hasn't had blooms yet. Of course, I probably don't fertilize often enough (pretty much just whenever I feel like it and can find my fertilizer bottle), so that might be part of it?

Funny how when we were voting on last year's project and this was in the running, I didn't want it to win because stinky flowers, but then I started thinking about how I'd get one anyway if it did win, just to participate in the project, and then started actually getting attached to the idea of having one, and then I finally threw like $30 for the tiny little thing :lol:

I bought it because it looked as though it would win the project and I am very glad that I did. :)

Mine is still alive, making new cukes every couple of weeks.
I wouldn't say it's thriving though 😉
No flowers yet

Making new growths every couple of weeks? Sounds to me like it's thriving!

It's loosing old leaves at the same rate. So it's not getting bigger 🙁
