I would be afraid to grow it in the ground but maybe I should try one.

I'm hoping I get lucky with this beautiful species. I was able to get some seeds from the PBS seed exchange a year ago and 6 out of 10 seeds sprouted and seem to be doing well. This past week I transplanted them from a community pot of vermiculite to more individual conditions. About the same time I was growing some H. cardoso moreira seeds that were sent from Hans in Denmark and they too were transplanted into the same container. Here they are all growing in a deep 15 cell tree seedling container.

It's a little hard to see because it seems to be getting darker earlier :-((( but the six in the background are the H. iguazuanum and the fifteen in the foreground are the H. cardoso moreira. Time will tell if these little cuties survive and hopefully they will, since I have promised some to folks on this list.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Fred, they all look great!! I wish you the best of luck with them as this is the stage when the fungus gnats seem to some out of nowhere!!

You say those are tree seedling containers; how deep are they and where did you get them? EBay?

Donna

Hi Donna,

I actually have three different sizes. The two round ones are 4" and 6" deep and have 15 growing cells. Then I have the 6" deep square ones that have 28 growing cells. I got them from www.stuewe.com a number of years ago and as usual, I got a more than I needed. They're too big and expensive to ship but since you're so close by, I wouldn't mind sharing with you. I'm on vacation the first two weeks of September, let me know if I can bring you some.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Good luck with those little ones, Fred! And don't forget to post pictures when they bloom ;-)

Fred,,

Thanks for the offer, but I've got millions of small containers that I use, all different sizes to fit in between this and that so I really don't need any cells although if I were starting out I would probably go your way, the neat way!! Thanks again though...☺

I hope you have a glorious vacation the next two weeks! The temps should be a little cooler but where is the rain!!! I wish you a few rainy days too....☺☺

Donna

Hi Donna,

My pleasure and thanks for the well wishes...I wouldn't mind a few days of much needed rain on my vacation either :-)))

Fred

Good luck on your babies Fred! I don't "lust" these specie ones anymore as I just kill them. I love seeing their pictures though.

Thank you Maria, I hope I don't kill them either. Although I do have the habit of killing things with "kindness"!!!
