Pod Parent Blooming Plant
 
 
Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: Parent plant: From New Guinea. Medium-sized plant. Plant habit is reason enough to grow this beauty. Flowers are 1 cm and brown, last 2-3 weeks, blooms 1-3 times per year. Alas, no keikis; grows from just one stem. Divisions have not been successful. Eventually gets to 1 meter tall. Leaves are 10-15 cm.

Flask Information
Availability: We have sold all of the flasks for this item.
You should: 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.
Yield Estimate: 64 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/07/2010 )
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 15 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 11/15/2010 through 01/04/2011)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 55 mm (01/04/2011)
