Sedirea japnoica

[Call_Me_Bob]

Exactly how long would you say to give it cool? I don't think I was doing anything special or any cooler temperatures when it bloomed for me.

Gorgeous! Nice job on painting the pot too!

[Call_Me_Bob]

Thanks! I'm going to repaint it soon. The paint is chipping and some of it is sloppy. I think I do better next time.

I put my Phals in a warmer spot as they start to spike. My Sedireas seem to like staying in the cooler bright area until the buds start to form.
Happy growing!

I'm late seeing this one, but just wanted to say it looks fantastic!

[Call_Me_Bob]

Thanks for the information Cat! Thanks Rosie!

It's looking good Quay!

I believe your plant is standard sized Sedirea. Most darumas I've come across have a mature leaf span of less than 3 inches with some less than an inch. Soon you'll be collecting more forms.

Hmm, maybe it's not a Daruma then, although it looks about the same size as Cat's. Are you sure you're not thinking of a Minmaru? The size you're describing sounds just like a Minmaru.

If I understand correctly, daruma types are miniatures with round leaves. But to be on the safe side I've emailed Glenn Lehr for a more definitive answer and will let you know what his thoughts are.

Google daruma and you'll get those round dolls that rock/wobble. So it stands to reason that the leaves on a daruma-type would be round. I could be wrong.
