Seemani sylvatica 'Bolivian Sunset', Gesneriad
Hi all,
I have had this plant for about 3 years now, maybe four. I have had it growing in peaty soil mix in a small pot for most of that time. Then I realized that this year's growth was not doing well because I was forgetting to water it regularly. So I decided to take a chance and stick it in my new exoterra vivarium as a foreground plant. Well it decided to bloom, 14 blooms coming, this is just the first.
I usually pollinate these by hand and then grow the seeds, so this plant is probably not the original.
