I'm impressed Jayfar san, when did you learn to read Japanese?:bowing

and pronounced gojira.

Very beautiful-LOVE it
Are you growing this Neo in bark?

Never Mind
Should have read the Post better :blushing:

I just use google to find a translator (or I could have used google translate). :)

Very impressive plant, congrats!

Growing nicely, Sonya. This must be the one you got for a really good deal and rode home on the bicycle with.

Spectacular! I am impressed you have a large specimen and you managed to maintain it in a cluster after all these years and never broke it down to smaller pieces. Good growing!

Aw - thanks :)

I agree that this one would be Amami Island - I by luck discovered this plant at a retail nursery, amongst the usual Onc intergenerics, noid Phals and Dens ... and only tagged as "Neofinetia falcata"

Thank you! Fragrance is not super strong - I can smell it a bit when I am nearby the plant - I'm sort of happy it isn't much stronger, because, while a nice fragrance, it seems incredibly 'heady', and would probably give me a headache if it permeated the room ;p

Thank you, Ted :)

I've had this three years - it was already quite big when I got it - 10 fans; 7 of pretty good size, 3 small, fairly recently new ones.

:rofl: Excellent! I love it!

I will need to copy that to save; I don't want to forget!

Thank you!

hehe - it happens - I do the same, and am embarrassed to admit how often I do :p

It was potted in bark mix (small fir bark chips, perlite, small lava rock) when I got it, and was extremely happy that way, so I figured it might be best to replicate that. I was not on friendly terms with sphag at the time (have since learned how to grow in it). And, in bark, it can go longer between repottings :)

Thanks Tracy!

Hehe - yes! This is that one! :biggrin: I'm surprised that you remember. I still can't believe the price I got this for! Nor just the fact that the retail nursery had it to begin with! Honestly, the fact that I found this there, keeps me going in there every now and again, just to see if they have anything surprising!

Thanks Bud :)

I've only had this one 3 years - it was already fairly big when I got it. I have been adamant, however, that it is NOT getting divided (anytime soon, at least). I love it's size, and even being a huge Neo, it's not a huge space hog, or hard to manage.

So beautiful :bowing

I must admit I simply googled "gojira" to find it. I considered linking the Kanji to the appropriate wikipedia page (en) but then decided it would be more fun as an exercise for the reader :)
