So I bought 3 plugs of U. Sandersonii about 3 months ago, and they've sent up buds once before, but they just ended up drying up. I think I had them to dry, so I repotted one plug into a "Monkey Pod" and it seems to be growing much better since some water collects in the pod itself. The Pod is inside my vivarium right now.

I also put some in a cup of sphagnum and keep that with water at all times now.

The 3rd plug i put it a little "Iwagumi" bowl that i had around, and so far all 3 seem to be responding positively.

Both the cup and the bowl are on a North-East facing window sill, I just potted these and its a bit cloudy out today so not much light.

I don't always drink.... But when I do... I drink Rainwater.... Stay thirsty my friends.

im not sure if its just me or not, but i cant see the images.

U. Sandersonii like it really wet, i give mine a shower every few days and its shooting out flowers really fast.

Can you see these? I have been keeping them a lot more soaked and they seem to be doing better. The one in the glass mug has a bud right now and it seems to be developing, but i guess we'll see.

Is it the blue form? I have that one and it is troublesome to flower, only had it happen once when soaking in lots of water, high humidity, and with rather intense lighting.

I have a bisquamata and subulata that I can't get to flower, the leaves are spreading rapidly and are growing densely at least. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Haha Yeah! I didn't see it until I posted the picture

It's the seeds I got from Hollyhock (Thanks again!)

But anyways, my little "Makeshift" windowsill broke the other day and the bowl shattered so i had to relocate them all into the glass mug and now it's further from the the window since i dont have anywhere to put it

So for the meantime, i put it next to my terrarium where it gets some indirect light from the terrariums lighting, but i don't think it'll do well there.

No this is the typical form, i did hear that the blue form didn't flower as much though....maybe they sent me the blue form by accident? they did have both forms instock when i ordered.

Those plugs also look like they just need more time to settle in as well, utrics in general flower a lot more once they start to fill up their part or at least get in a good amount of vegetative growth.

Pretty sure that the water level should be at the level of soil surface to get them to flower. Good luck.

Should the water ALWAYS be at soil level, or should i wait to add more water once theres no more water in the cup?

Mine stopped flowering when the water got low, and started flowering again when I increased the water to the soil surface.
