This is a true micro-miniature with narrow succulent leaves under a inch in height. Happy plants quickly make a nice clump. The plant blooms in flushes two or three times a year. Although most of the genus have fused sepals almost creating a pouch, hoeijeri has only the base of the sepals fused creating a broad wing that makes it look like a flying B-52 bomber or a seagull in flight. |
| Donor's culture notes: |
Temperature range CI (58-75°F). I grow my plant mounted on a lichen-covered stick. The plant is an easy grower but if adequate humidity and air movement isn't provided, the developing flower spikes will get hung up on the leaves (the spike slides along the inside of each leaf as it grows) and once hung up, the the buds blast. So if you aren't getting blooms it is likely that the plant is trying and simply blasting the spikes before you notice. It helps to direct a steady spray of water at the foliage once a day in conditions where the humidity and air movement aren't adequate. |
