Neofinetia falcata shoujou
 

Hi all! Received a neofinetia shoujou (I think some write it as shojo) as a Christmas gift from my sis. (I kno! Great sis! :lol:). There seems to be a couple of new growths ( theres 5 mature fans, 2 smaller ones, and one tiny tiny thing that might be a new fan or something else...I'll try to get a picture but I'm not sure I'll be able to focus it well...). Anyone have any pictures of new spikes forming in these guys?

If the new growth is a fan, it will look like a mitten. If it is a flower spike it will look like a king's scepter. Congratulations! Yes, you have a very generous sister.

Okay, Here are some pictures of my shoujou...

Second picture... New fan?

The last two pictures... New fan or spike?

New fan. Flower stalks--most of the time--come from the center of the plant between leaf and stem. Very nice, healthy plant.

Thanks Matt! Any new growth is good for me! Notice a couple of purple root tips starting to poke out also. Though, I do notice that some of the leaf tips are drying out/yellowing? You can kind of see it on that first picture. What's this from?

Great plant; awesome sister!

Thanks! I hope I can get it to flower for me!

Anyone know when abouts these flower? I'm located in Ontario Canada....

They should flower in May or June. Terry from Flora Peculia in Toronto says his flower in June.

I believe that's where my sister bought this one.
