Plant currently has six leads, all in flower - 2 - 3 flowers per spike. Not all out yet of course, some buds showing colour, a few not quite that advanced.
Growing in a shallow seed tray, measuring about 15 x 8 inches, only a couple of inches deep - these plants have very short roots and do not need any depth.
Not quite making the impression I want, because the spikes are spaced out too far apart over the whole tray; I think of cutting it up into six pieces and rearranging in a tray half this size, or maybe wait for a few more growths - but they will probably simply extend over the edges of the tray and occupy still more space. But I have another plant in an 8 inch pot with a similar number of growths,but poorer flowers; perhaps I will cut that one up and plant as mentioned . The tray is definitely doing better than the pot, where the unused volume of compost perhaps keeps it all too wet.

Not trying to jump on your post here Geoff but a friend near me had this one bare root in a 4" - 10 c pot. Something to consider.

Differnt grex- that is M.moreliana, ( and a very good form, too, if not a hybrid, but I think the species ) but yes , that is quite incredible however it is grown . But bare root ? In a 4 inch pot ? And near you - I din't know Hamilton was in a rain forest ?
