Just thought I'd see if anyone else round here grows these little gems...
For anyone unfamiliar, give one a shot, you could hardly ask for a better houseplant for a bright spot!
Even surviving years with no direct light or water...survive, not thrive,mind you!
I'm in the process of IDing them, it's not a cake walk! So please, don't take my word in the names, I'm trying my best, any help would be just sweet!
Here's pics of a few that I had handy!
Bought as H. Emelyae v. Emelyae
I'm almost 100% certain it's really H. Pygmae, it's the only one that came IDed, and it's wrong...imagine that.
Cats tongue!
A droopy bloomer, I'm not used to them hangin so low...
H. Coartata?
He's a but etiolated down in that growth point...
H. Attenuata cv 'wide zebra'?
This ones name seems to have some confusion surrounding it...
I found pics of what appeared to be this same plant with 4 different names on it, I believe
It's sure a beauty though!
This one is really one of my fav's!
I hunted for it for a long time, before losing my collection, only to have it fall into my hands this year without even looking or asking, good stuff!
It came pretty roughed up, but I think you can see the clear difference in the lower growth, from before I got it, and the top, which is my growth, I'm very pleased, but I just hate that damn dark orange rust! It came with all that, but I see it on my other attenuata types too, ones I've had long enough that the blame is on me and my culture...
Any advice here? I'm sure it's culture.
Please join in, I love lookin at pics of these guys, it's such a great group of plants, so diverse, intricate, and intriguing!
My puny collection lacks much of this diversity...
but I'm working on it!
So...who else is growin?
Will you be showin?
More of mine to come!
