Pleuro palliolata 'Reiki'

[Ron-NY]

I have tried to bloom this one for years but ended up with bud blast or with keikis only every year. I had some buds blast last month and I thought I was going to have all keikis again but I have some leaves blooming I think I now have the culture down.

Those are cool and interesting flowers, Ron! Good growing!

Beautiful Ron, and congratulations on finally getting it to do it's 'thang'.

That's SO CUTE!!! Wouldn't happen to be a mini would it?

[Ron-NY]

Mini for this type...the plant is only about 6" tall. I will post a full plant shot for you

Ooo! Not as "mini" as would be ideal but do-able! Now the next hurdle -- intermediate to warm grower?

[Ron-NY]

I grow it intermediate...LOL, I don't grow anything warm

[pavel]

I don't grow much of anything cool Intermediate to warm [with a leaning to warm] I seem to do better at.

High humidty required?

Heck may as well as tell you to "spill the beans" on you successful culture while I'm at it. [Because inquiring minds want to know....]

I am now growing it in a plastic pot of bark mix and on the bright side, constantly moist. Winter lows are 60 summer highs are 80 for the greenhouse. Humidity around 60%

Looks like I'll have to hope you have another keiki episode....
