Dyakia hendersoniana

LOL, noted! Don't cut spikes! Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated.

My Dyakia grew a stem over 4 weeks ago but it has yet to flower. Is there something wrong?

I am so envious of your success!!! My 2 are just languishing . Clearly I haven't figured out the culture yet. Both are in small clay pots with large bark. They are misted & watered regularly, but do dry out. They are outdoors right now in dappled sun and are indoors in a "tabletop" greenhouse for humidity in the winter, with early morning sun. HELP!

Just be patient. I already see buds forming on the spike.

Don't fret, Carrie....
you too will be able to make your plant bloom....
I have it on S/H method and maybe the clay pebbles does the trick for our environment. I am just glad we did not have any heat wave this year.
For us on the North Eastern Seaboard=maybe treat it like a Neofinetia falcata culture....it loves our summer humidity and warm bright shade outdoors.

Thank You, Rosie!!!!

I just got interested with this plant.. compact and showy!

You can grow this outdoors in the summer and put it indoors two weeks before frost....I give this culture like my Neofinetia falcata. One stem might give you four spikes when it is mature enough (about four to five years old).
