Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: 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.
Comments: Parent plant: 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.

| 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: |
240 plants (based on flask surveys done 05/23/2003 )
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 17 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 03/01/2004 through 04/12/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 12 - 17 mm (04/12/2004)
