No response! I suppose you have to be a pioneer. The flowers look attractive so give it a go.

I grow the Microcoelia stolzii, also an African native. I am not sure if they have the same environmental niche. The stolzii is an intermediate grower. I got my plant in May, 2010 as a seedling; and it tried to bloom last summer but the spikes blasted -- it's still a young plant. It's mounted on a chunk of wood and seems to be getting better established now.

I grow it in a greenhouse with maximum summer temps of 85F (30C) and minimum winter temps of about 55F (13C). The humidity runs 50-60% on the average, but it can go far lower and far higher at times. It is in fairly bright diffused light and gets good air circulation. In the summer it is watered daily, in the winter less so.

So far it hasn't bloomed but seems to be doing reasonably well in these conditions.
