Certainly one on the top of every Dyckiophiles wishlist! But said to be rare in habitat. This is a species we need to get all clones available in cultivation and carry one of each to Chanin so that he can engage in mass production :) Constantino, has your plant ever flowered? It is said to do well i...

There is also a variety of Orthophytum disjunctum which vegetatively is strikingly similar to Cr. warasii, including the leaf markings.

But funny enough, the most dangerous enemy for our native plants and animals are those who feed on Brazilian beef, uses Brazilian timber and writes on Brazilian paper. I think this will soon be much worse if we all start driving using brazilian "bio" fuel :cry: Anyway, more of those pictu...

This is phantastic guys! Chanin, your plant is the champ, I am speechless about how fast a plant can grow in your climate. Half a year and changed completely. Good to hear from Constantino that the plant is close to what he found in habitat, so this is probably not an accidental hybrid but the pure ...

Es würde mich interessieren zu wissen, ob das gemischte Bepflanzen größerer Töpfe/Schalen/Kübel mit sukkulenten Bromelien etwas bringt, verglichen mit kleineren Töpfen. Ich würde gern mal so eine Art "Mini-Landschaft" mit vielleicht 5 Arten Dyckien und Orthophyten und dem einen oder andere...

Cryptanthus ist hierzulande wirklich nicht leicht zu finden. Die meiste "Vielfalt" sieht man noch bei Orchideenhändlern, dort würde ich es mal versuchen. Man sieht zwar immer mal wieder hier und dort welche, aber an bestimmte Formen ranzukommen ist bestimmt nicht leicht und erfordert einig...

Hello Constantino, I support your doubts in general. Yet in this case after having seen a Dyckia dawsonii with Dawson field number, I do believe that Chanin's plant (the clone shown at the top) is a true D. dawsonii. On the other hand I am quite doubtful about any of the oher forms shown here and se...

Magnifico, constantino! Thanks a lot! Seems to be a relatively humid place, right? Or is it just the mid of the wet season?

Cheers,

Diese ausgewachsene Pflanze brauchst du nicht zu düngen, denn sie wächst ja nicht mehr. Erst recht nicht in dieser Jahreszeit, wo die Tage kürzer werden und man ein übermäßiges Wachstum (und als Folge lange, dünne Blätter) eher verhindern will. Hinzu kommt, dass die Kindel, die sich bald bilden werd...

Unless one studies the variability in habitat, it is really hard to judge whether the plant from Michael's is "true" Dy. dawsonii. Who knows, it may be a hybrid, but also may well be another end member of what is naturally a rather variable species. It may even be a natural hybrid. The onl...

Hi Chanin,
funny, the same thing happened to me today, with Ananas nanus being the culprit.
Cheers,

Phan-tas-tic, Cyrill! Spectacular! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Congratulations. And the flower color is clearly distinct from that of Chanin's plant. What a special species. Unfortunatly it seems to be quite delicate and slow growing, at least under my conditions. Would be interesting to know wh...

This is how that little pup looks like today: http://jsaul.de/bilder/080805.Dy_dawsonii.jpg It rooted very quickly and is growing well. I repotted it a couple days ago and the 6cm pot was full of roots that had developed in less than 4 months. Seems to be one of the easier Dyckias, at least under my...

Man kann viele der "Baumarkt-Bromelien" durchaus in "Blumenerde" halten, gerade Vriesea, Aechmea und Neoregelia. Ein Zusatz von 20-30% Seramis macht das Ganze lockerer uns strukturstabiler. Auch Orchideensubstrat kann sich gut eignen. Altes Orchideensubstrat schmeiße ich i.d.R. n...

Sieht doch gut aus! Sind das Vitrinenpflanzen?
