It was going carnivorous until I moved it a bit now it's escentially frozen in its current state
Maybe it was just time. Mine are growing great but firmly in winter mode. Then again, it is February. ;-)

Hang in there! I'm sure it'll pop out of dormancy soon! I can't believe mine is showing color this fast.

Not sure on the specifics. They already had little root systems, they look like they could be from pullings. Either way, I'm excited to get another shot... starting to earn a reputation for ping killer Image

Haha. Yikes, thank you! I think I figured it out when I was able to clone 4/4 esseriana pullings, which are now coming along nicely, with minimal water and lower humidity (it was way too wet and humid for it before)... I only really have highland experience.

Yes, the first couple of times I tried pullings I covered the flats to keep the humidity high. It did stay high--and every last one of them rotted within 2-3 days. :-) now I keep them open, or just barely covered. Air circulation is important.

Yeah even with good air circulation (I have three small fans in my highland chamber, two of which run 24/7), the humidity just destroyed my first two cyclos

You're growing your cyclosectas in a chamber? Why? What's the humidity outside it?

not anymore. That was my 1st and 2nd try.... now it’s just room humidity, which is probably 40-50%
