Hey all just thought I would share my successes with this D. graminifolia; a gift from TC.

Hey Fernando!

Oh boy you had to ask that question! Honestly, I do not know. I recieved them a source that I have PMed you with; perhaps that information would better answer your question.

Cheers!
 
Thanks guys! I was told this was a rare and difficult species but I did nothing special for it to bring it out of TC, and look at it now...is this true about it being difficult?

NICE PLANTS!

My first graminifolia died within three months in a peat mix with temps in the 80s.

My second (and current) plant has been thriving for a year under cooler temps (60s-70s) and potted in pure LFS. Under these conditions, I've found it relatively easy to grow....
 
Great plants. My first effort with this speicies also failed, but this has inspired me to try again as soon as I can provide cooler conditions.

Cheers,

Greg
 
The species is quite easy to grow as long as the conditions are kept cool. Mine struggle a bit during the heat of summer but kick on again during the cool of fall and winter. In several years of growing I've never managed to flower them though.
 
I probably have had such good luck with them due to the fact I asked about them first. Most important factors that were told to me were make sure its a pure LFS soil and cool temps.
