I created this thread last August when I purchased these two plants for my office. The came to me in 4 inch pots. Here they are today growing in my office in 15 inch pots. They get no light other than the florescent lighting in the office. I did spot up the Black cardinal with a product that I used trying to get rid of some flying gnats. Didn't work but going to this bottom watering pot got rid of the gnats. Now I have to wait for the plant to grow to replace these leaves.
The challenge with the Gloriosum is trying to keep it in the pot. The first photo shows that I ignorantly place the growing tuber in the center of the pot without giving consideration to which way it would grow. I now know that I should have placed it near the other end of the pot as the second photo shows that it has run all the way near the far edge. Guess I will have to repot soon to either a bigger pot or try rearranging it in this pot. I love this plant and it likes this environment as it is growing like a weed.
