Hey there.
So I just received my first Neofinetia Falcata today, of the 'Amami Island' variety(?). Poor girl came in pretty iffy shape with dead roots and about 4 missing leaves from the original ebay listing. (Not too thrilled about that, won't be buying from that guy again)
Oh well. You win some you lose some. Now to pot her up.

After cleaning her up a bit, she looks quite cute now. I was shocked by the size of this plant. They're even smaller than I expected! I didn't have a pot small enough for her so I'm using a teacup I got from a wedding tote. (LOL) Some proper pots will arrive on Saturday. Figured I'd also have a go at the kokedama potting style because why not and so far so good! I'm pleased with how it turned out. I even used the bottle trick to form it.

And what's this? Is this what I think it is? Yes. I believe this is a spike! Hopefully she's not too shocked from the journey over here and the repotting to grace me with her flowers.
Here's to hope.
My first Neo, 'Amami Island' !
