Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: New Guinea. Plants grow at high elevations on moss-covered
trees, on mossy rocks near streams, and on cliff faces and east-facing
road cuts where the roots attach to the clay soil beneath the covering of
moss, lichens, and other small plants. They are found in shady places as
well as on exposed mountain peaks in typical alpine habitat, where they
are exposed to breezes. Plants are reported from as low as 2450 ft. (750
m), but they are more often found at 6550–11,500 ft. (2000–3500 m).
Schlechter (ref. 437) indicated that the high alpine species require "much
moisture for their cultivation and under no circumstances will they
tolerate high, continuous heat. Where they occur, particularly in the
mornings during their growth periods, the temperature drops to 41F (5C)
and below."
