P. cyclosecta

Purple ping

very nice. i have a question...for a couple of months, my cyclosecta's been doing fine. however recently, it decided to be a bromeliad instead. would you happen to know what's going on?
 
Yup, they go dormant in the winter
 
yeah, that's what i was thinking. but it doesnt look anything like the leaves in your pic. yours looks like a gradual shrinking, while mine looks has the shape of a Brocchinia, with it's leaves standing vertically.
 
If anyone wants a ping I have them
PM ME

For trade or for free? :p

Cyclosecta is a great species. Purple suits Pings.
 
I'm giving it all she's got Captain, but your anti-PM shields seem neigh on impenetrable! Please lower shields so communications may commence.
 
I would love to have a cyclosecta. If you're giving, I'm a taking. :)
 
I would love to trade you for a cyclosecta and anyother pings your willing to trade at the moment. I am going to be repotting my Ceph hummers giant in an very huge pot and have plenty of room around my Hummers giant. I will be planting a bunch of pings around the Hummers giant and would like to add the colorful cyclosecta as one of the pings around the ceph.

Wow that's a beaut. Cyclosecta is one of the most attractive pings imo. Wish I could have kept mine alive .

This was from a few weeks ago. It's also transitioning into winter leaf mode:

Hey Jim, the P. cyclosecta you sent me is now about the size of a half dollar! It really took off once I cut back on the water.

Half dollar?! That's not logical! It should have gotten smaller by cutting back on water. I'm cornfused!

it's okay jim. it's magic. on a related note, i took a cutting of my P. cyclosecta too, back in december. already it is almost 3/4 the size of it's predecessor. didn't think they could grow that fast.

It's true :) I need to get a picture of it. Not only that, but 2 other ones that you gave me that were small plantlets have already flowered! Maybe I have magic lights?

On a side note, the cyclosecta didn't seem to like a lot of water. For awhile it just sputtered along... but I noticed when I restricted watering to once a week... it really took off.

This one flowered less than a year after you sent it to me:

Pinguicula moctezumae x kohres

I need to transplant it since it already filled up the 3 inch pot. Pings seem to really kick it into gear when conditions are just right.
