#2 x #4 x sib is what the tag says.
I guess it is basically the common white flowered one.
This is my first neo that I picked up about two months ago from a local grower.
It has so many growths (8) but no sign of previous flowering. The grower also admitted it never flowered.
I thought I got a lemon (I've seen pictures of neo as large clusters but most pictures I've seen had single growth plant with flowers, hence the worry about this plant initially) but then again, sometimes plants do crazy things, so I got it anyways.
New roots are red, which I find interesting.
I am getting almost tired of dunking it in the sink everyday but I found a new reason to be diligent.
I found not just one, but a few flower spikes coming up.
I can see about 5 or 6. I surely don't want to kill them off by drying them.
I'm interested to see what the flower shape will be like.
and also looking forward to the scent that I read a lot about.
It is mounted and hanging by the sunny south window. daily dunking and frequent
misting.
It is throwing out a few spike AND new growths.
Question for the experienced- other than Japanese style, what other ways work well for growing these?
I don't think I will keep it alive for a long time as a mounted plant. I plan to take it off the mount as soon as flowers fade. s/h? sphagnum moss?
