Beautiful! all these pictures of latouria dends makes me envious. How do you grow this one - Light and watering in particular!

Calvin, thanks. This plant should be in the cooler growing space, but I kept it in the warmer space because I can see the flowers more often. It was in spike when I bought it, so no credit for the flowers.

When it's finished blooming, it'll go in the cooler space w/ all the other Dens:

- high 50s - mid-60s during winter, unless the sun's out, when it goes to the mid-70s
- low humidity: teens - 40s
- air movement because it's an open space
- E/SE light, unobstructed, supplemented by
- ten, 26W CFLs in 2 octopus lamps
- watering - when it's approaching dryness but not bone dry
- It's in medium bark in a plastic pot.

Outside during the summer:

- E/SE light, cut 50%
- Minnesota temps and humidity - often high. This summer, I'll bring in most of them during the really hot weather.

My atroviolaceum (pygmy) and aberrans are spiking under my care for the first time each, so maybe I'm headed in the right direction.

They're fun! Whitecat8

Very pretty!
I have a major thing for white flowers!:~)

I've gotta' say, I'm a little distracted by all that white stuff in the background!!;~)
I guess that I shouldn't complain about my weather.
It's been gorgeous, but freezin!
The ground hasn't thawed out for some time and a huge storm is supposed to be on the way, with lots of snow!

Talk about doing something right, White Cat. That's a beauty! Good growing!

Very nice!

We just got our first major dump of snow last night, so I'm enjoyin' it!

Sharon

Pretty flowers
Everything on the windowsill looks very happy..

Beautiful

Scott, where is it you live again? Hope all your livestock stays warm. We're just coming out of the deep freeze - +7F now, but a high of 24F tomorrow.

I've got to swear off white flowers and that sunset art shade - too many now.

Marci, I bought this one in early spike a couple of months ago, so all I can claim credit for is keeping out of its way. :)

Gosh, Sharon, how have you missed heavy snow this winter? Nothing quite like a few inches of snow for beauty. Well, unless you're Scott and have those other considerations.

Olya & Linda, thanks for the compliments. At least everything on the windowsill is green. LOL

Beautiful! You certainly have a talent with dens. We still haven't had any 'real' snow yet in NY. Its been cold, but only a few snow showers. I know we'll get clobbered soon.

Snow dresses up the dreary gray winter.
