I listed here in my Bio how many Neos I have in my posession; the flowers last a couple of weeks and some a month....they are all fragrant....once you got the right culture and care in your environment; it will thrive happily and keep on blooming=some once a year some twice a year if youre lucky

Lol. Double?! I know I get a rush from ebay. I don't care if that makes me a total geek!!!! Ill check the others out. I think I'm watching them all though.

did you win it? I saw one bean leaf sold for $20 with 6 bids on it but actually only 3 bidders were on it

Yep that was me! I emailed him to ask if he has more and that I'd like a heat pack! No reply yet.

Good for you! Its a great acquisition. Its a clump of two clean and neat bean leaf plants....really healthy and the correct coloring of the leaves proves it is given the correct culture. Notice the big roots and thick and tight foliage. It might bloom for you this year.

read on Neofinetia culture and make sure to observe the plant in your environmenton its first few weeks(dont repot yet unless the moss is decaying) ....you have Neos and Vanddacious plants so trust your instincts on this....
Culture and Care of my bean leaf Neo:
Grown on a windowsill. (medium light)East window
Humidity: 60%- 80%
Temp: High 90F, Low 60F (Cool - Intermediate)
I give it really good air circulation
twice a week soak, misting daily in warmer months and every other day in winter.
Weekly weakly fertilizer with seaweed mix....
*observe I give it lesser water in winter (every other day spray)
