Medinilla Magnifica

[sbrofio]

Some Medinilla in the garden where I bought Coelogyne cristata & Pleione formosana. Every plant 22.50 € (31$ )

A great plant. I know it from my childhood 50 years back. Not uncommon here.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but are there two varieties of this plant? Mine seems to have smaller leaves but is a good sized plant-almost 3 'tall. It has not bloomed as yet but I am hopeful for this summer. I saw another one at Clown Alley a few months ago and the leaves on his plant were much bigger. And it was blooming. I bought mine at Another Place In Time in Houston so I may have to question Mike about it.

Nice, I have never seen nor heard of this plant before. I'm sure it will be a good long time before it gets here.

Hi Beverly, maybe different conditions in growings lead to a (little) difference in size?

@Shannon: why? Are you far away from common commercial routes?

sbrofio: You are probably right. This summer I will have it outdoors again and I think it could use repotting. I did not see mentioned what kind of potting material is right for this plant. Anyone know?
