Pattywack, our plant is about 12” tall and 10” wide now. We got it in 2013 as a small plant, maybe 4” tall then, repoted a couple of years ago a into 4” pot with a hanger. Most of the roots grow outside the pot now. It just grew the keikei last year, so it’s maybe one year old. Yes we do grow in a greenhouse, and it’s about time to move things back in

Mine also bloomed 2 times this year. It was blooming in feb. when I got it and again last month. I am alittle disappointed in that mine does not seem to have a smell at all. I could have sworn it was fragrant when I bought it.

Selmo, your plant has grown beautifully. I assume they need to have some age before they keikei, most of them I’ve seen are single growth. My plant is 8” tall and 9” wide, it has grown 2 leaves since February. I repotted it into the clay pot maybe in April in a chunky bark mix with a bit of moss. It too has many roots outside of the pot. I was surprised at the size of this when received and very happy with such a healthy, vigorous plant. The fragrance is strongest in the evening and yummy! Thanks for sharing your experience, beautiful plant!

Lynn, have you tried smelling in the evening? My plant has a very slight fragrance in the morning but much stronger evenings. Maybe the fragrance will develop as the blooms mature?

Patty. yes I tried several different times during the day. Sometime I thought I smelled something but not really. hoping maybe the next bloom will.
