Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). This plant likes to grow on a mount or in a clay pot. Prefers high light and intermediate temperatures. High humidity certainly won't hurt this plant. This is a much more robust plant than others in the genus Sophronitis. It can also tolerate higher levels of salts in water.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Flower shape and color are excellent for this species. Plant is a very large and hardy individual of this small species. Blooms several times throughout the year.

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: 300 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/02/2004 )
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 10 - 30 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 02/11/2005 through 03/09/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 20 - 25 mm (03/09/2005)

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: Brazil. Plants were originally found at Botafogo in what is now the city of Rio de Janeiro. Plants of this coastal race have somewhat pale or faded flowers. Fowlie (1987), indicates that this is variety cernua which is now known to grow along the seacoast from the state of Bahia southward to the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Plants with more brightly colored flowers grow far inland in the states of Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo. Sophronitis cernua var. mineira hort. is treated separately in this work because the habitats are so very different. Some authorities consider these inland plants to be a variety and other taxonomists prefer to treat them as a subspecies.
