Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). This plant is currently growing mounted on a coconut tree in shade, but could probably do well in bright diffused light. Likes water and good air flow, but the roots like to dry out between waterings.
Comments: All Robiquetia in Micronesia are lumped together as lutea, though some indicate there is a difference between Palau and Chuuk species.
Parent plant: This individual is from Palau. Flowers are small, but the plant is medium-sized and has a vining style of growth. The flowers are orange, yellow and red in color and are cup-shaped. Medium-sized plant.

Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.

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. |
