Psychopsiella lemminghei
 
Hello. Does anyone know where I can find a psychopsiella lemminghei? I found this mini a few weeks ago and instantly wanted one. I have called a bunch of places, but nobody has them. Please reccomend sources that have this plant.

Thanks

Chris I've been looking for this plant for a while with no luck. A friend found one on eBay and bought it for me. Needless to say I killed it within a month.
I had spoken to the guys from Andy's at the Redlands show and they told me that they had some and to give him a call at the nursery. I did call him today and he has some available so it looks like you and I both will have one each. He told me that somebody else had called today and I'm assuming that it was you.

Yes, I gave him a call earlier. That's funny how that happened. The only thing is is that it is so expensive. Such a small plant for such a big price.

Roly0217 05-26-2011 09:05 PM

They are always expensive. The last one that my friend got me was $35.

Actually there is a good sized one right now on eBay. I was looking at it earlier, but as said above, they are generally quite expensive

Roly0217 05-26-2011 09:35 PM

I did see the one on eBay and it definetely is a good size. Much bigger than the one that had before.

I've heard that mounted Psy can be very picky and difficult, but I have no first hand experience with it. Good luck if you pick it up, and let us know if you find another source.

They are relatively easy if you and maintain +75% humidity at all times. At least that worked for me. It went down hill fast when I had to take it out of that environment.

I see a 5 gallon mini terrarium in my future. How about the light level???

Looks like a nice one, I wish you all the best of luck!

One of the free culture sheets at the Bakers' site covers this species:
Psychopsiella limminghei Culture

I've found their information really useful, especially for finickier plants.
