Rodrumnia

[MattWoelfsen]

Does any one know the difference between Rodrumnia versus Tolumnia? I just got these five Rodrumnia from Hawaii. I'm happy to have acquired these plants. Here is a group picture.

Rodrumnia is Rodriguezia x Tolumnia, but most you will see have a fairly small percentage of Rodriguezia ancestry and won't look much different than typical Tolumnia hybrids. Unless you know a plant is a first generation 50% Rodriguezia hybrid treat it just like Tolumnia. Even then, Rodriguezia/Rodrumnia requirements aren't much different than Tolumnia, maybe just a bit less light and a bit more moisture.

Thanks PaphMadMan for your information. This will really help me grow these plants. I already have several Tolumnia that are doing well so I'll grow these Rodrumnia like Tolumnia.

Hi Matt. One minor correction. The second one is Rodrumnia Nalo x Rodrumnia (Spunky x Just Splendid). Looking forward to seeing photos of your blooms.
