Masd coccinea x regina

[RJSquirrel]

this is the plant that got a blue ribbon. has 15 spikes from last count and about the same in new shoots. You think it needs to be divided?



I really just wanted to show the new peeps how it is grown. i just took it out of the jar and I put him back in now. the buds have proven to be finnicky. Im tryin something different and bought a fan just for this plant. it needs high light about 1700 -2200 fc and at that point you need more cold fresh air and lots of it.

Yes, I think it needs to be divided and I think a division of it needs to live with me.

Love the flowers on that! I'm amazed it is growing in that vase-like setup. I would not have thought that possible.

i have a "bs" division of this particular hybrid but idk if its doing well or not. it has one new growth. and its covered in what looks like tiny maroon brown specks. somewhat like a dendrobium. hopefully itl bloom someday

[RJSquirrel]

they need a lot of light and be kept cool while your lighting them up. I had trouble with this one blasting the buds as I said I changed its location to get more air and much more light. Its an entity now

the cooler you can keep these plants the more light you can give them and the more they will bloom. Im convinced of this.

Looking at the flower pic again, it looks like it is doing the potty dance.

Wow - it looks great! Good growing!

Those are some psychedelic colours!

No, I wouldn't divide unless it is trying to divide itself so is looking messy!
Being as yours is looking compact then leave well alone, I sometimes tease and pull a couple of peices from larger plants if I want multiples without harm.

Very nice.
