Thanks for the very nice photos hdd. Love that last one,Michi is it ? those 'fund raiser'plants are very nice too. Could you give us some names? I too bought a 'copper' plant,Vr.'Coppertone'. It arrived green,and stayed green for its full lifetime. So where's the copper? If that first one is a hohenbergia correia-araujoi,its as hard to raise as it is to pronounce its name.For me,anyway.
Nice show ! Bob

Very nice pictures, keep 'em coming!

I don't know about Hoh. correia-araujoi being picky, but the leaves get really floppy and you need a lot of space for it. Also the pups are very hard to get off.

You should send your picture of Jungle Drums to FCBS. It looks much nicer than the one they've got on there. Is the cup color really inky like that? Like it!

Lisa,what you said is what I meant by 'hard to raise'...where the heck can I put this plant ? But I like the leaf design. Bob

My Hohenbergia correia-araujoi is the poster child of floppiness. Its about 3 feet tall and presently has sent out a large bloom spike. Th good thing is, there are 2 pups attached to the base! So "floppy" is on the way out and "new kids" on the way in!

Cool sounds like I have hope for this picky plant yet. DO NOT do what I did and fertlize it. It turned a terrible green with only a touch of time release fertlizer last year. I wont do that again

Lisa maybe its the Plutonis parentage coming out?

Mine does get some Miracle Gro splash over (into the ground not the cup) can't be helped, its right next to my big Calathea Yellow Rattleshaker and some other stuff like Begonia luxurians and Alocasia Purple Prince. Has never affected it so far. In fact I think maybe that's why it has decided to bloom and make pups. I had it for 2 years before planting it where it is now, its doing a whole lot better now. STill floppy though
