Schilleriana concerns

[Magnus A]

I would not cut any keikis. I would spare them to be able to grow a large spectacular plant instead!

For care I have had severe problems myself with P. schilleriana, I have tried high humidity, high and low light in my growing cabinet that almost killed it.

I know grow it in bark with some spagnum moss for water retention. I have it on my windowsill in south west direction. It recieves direct sun during the afternoon BUT I have a three layered modern energy saving window that filter the light. I have the window slightly open 24 hours during the swedish summer. For temperature I have 15-18 C at night and 22-30 C during the day and the relative humidity is around 50-85 depending of how much rain we get.

My result during these conditions is two new healthy looking leaves within 4 month!

Hi Magnus, Thank you for your insight. I live in a place where there is high humidity up in the mountains the temperature now ranges from 16C-24C. It sits beside my windows too for direct sunlight but the sun is almost not visible most of the day during the wet season. Our humidity is somewhere in the range of 80%-90%. Very, very wet.

I will not cut the keikis. Please post your Shilleriana once it blooms I wish to see it.
