It's beautiful, no doubt about it. How slow will this guy grow? So much variegation and a bean leaf, too... I wish you the best in growing it. I think I along with this forum will watch with great interest as this guy grows for you! Did you get it a cool pot?
I wonder if relatively frequent re mounding will help this guy?

Thanks Ryan! Being variegated and a bean leaf, it should be a fairly slow grower I'd imagine, but I was thrilled to see a new leaf just beginning too emerge, which I at first only noticed from the magnified photo.
I haven't bought any pots yet, but in fact I was thinking this one is deserving of one. Definitely going to look into that.
Won't need to remound for a while; it arrived in very fresh sphag (as well it should have for the price). |

Jayfar, you really out did yourself with this one!! Like everyone else has remarked, it is a bodasciously beautiful plant.
I add my request to you to be sure and post a MONTHLY picture of this plant, so we can all see how she is doing. In about 2-3 years time, I want you to enter it in that year's Fukiran Society of America Show!! I'm sure you'll win.
Ryan and Ginger, you all need to propose a pot for this specially plant!
Sorry, who died and left ME in charge????

I already know the perfect pot. But I don't want to be presumptuous.
JayFar, have you peeked at the roots? I do fifty percent of the time, but I should 100. Is there insurance for these plants? Lloyd's of London maybe?
