just got one of these guys and need a basic guide since i haven't seen any info on how to grow it online and haven't talked to anyone who owns one, figured its time to make a post.
basically looking for
dormancy requirements
humidity level needed
temperature range (if possible)
I'm also wondering if it self pollinates and if its prone to root rot or if i have to watch out for any other illnesses its susceptible to
ALSO as far as mexican pings go I was wondering, do they need to be forced into dormancy each year or do they just do it on their own sometimes and THEN you put them into dormancy conditions
or.. whats the deal
I have a few im trying to put into dormancy (succulent leaves) because I thought thats what they need but I cant seem to get them to do it, drastically lowered the photo period and put them on my cold windowsill that has the window cracked open or all the way open 90% of the time (freezing temps outside) they just seem to get greener and bigger, much much bigger
any info helps
thanks
