Neofinetia falcata Ootaka maru 大鷹丸 on lava rock

[s.kallima]

I established this plant in August 2010 on a piece of red lava rock, standing in a saucer with 1/2 inch of water.
It grows under T5 HO lights and I did not give it a winter rest for 2 years... just withdrew fertilizer for winter.
The mexican butterworts (Pinguicula) are well established from single leaf cuttings and are becoming too big, I will have to trim them after the summer (theyr are catching tons of bugs and I like the flowers!)
The mosses are from around my house, so they die in winter and grow back in spring.







comparing with Aug. 2010 :

Really nice! I love your set up! I grow my neos in lava rock but they look much better on it.
