Hello everyone,
I'm expecting a package today (never gets old huh?)! It should have U. Alpina and G. Hispidula in it. I have made up a couple modified "Slack pots" with some LFS, a little sandy peat mix, and some live LFS poking through the sandy peat mix. Overkill? I've been doing a lot of reading, mostly Barry Rice, and much of what I've read so far indicates that both of these can be grown in just sandy peat, or other similar "coarse" mixes, however, they don't seem to "prefer" those mixes and almost never flower, especially the Ginlisea. Alpina can be a little more forgiving...
Anyway, I was hoping there were some of you more experienced growers that might have some of these in cultivation, and hopefully can tell me a little bit about the soil you use, growing conditions; light type, humidity, temps, photoperiod, dormancy etc. Also would like to know if anyone here has had success getting these guys to flower.
Thanks so much everyone,
Cheers,
