Does Gypsum work with most of them? Pinguiculaman suggested a mix that contained crushed coral.

it is OK , for the calcareous temperate ping also.

for the gypsophylous ( like P.gypsicola - P.medusinae - P.immaculata P.nivalis etc) for my part I use pure gypsum with river sand 50/50

LOL! I may have taken French as a 'foreign language', in junior high..... but j'ai oublie a lot of it! What is your opinion of the use of freezed dried bloodworms for Mexican pings?

Bonjour

I d'not use this bloodworms.

for all my mexican and temperate ping I let nature do, they take their prey in summer when they are outside of mid-May to mid-October.

if for example the US subtropical or the Caribbean, I use glitter for aquarium fish

I combined Mexican ping pots and put all of them in containers, on 5 different window sills, to dry out and respond to the natural photoperiod, and hopefully go dormant and flower next spring.

Do you treat leaf sprouts and young plants differently than established / mature plants, with regard to the 'dormancy' time of year?
 
  • #31
for young and leaves buds, always the same treatment like the mature in the nature

So can leave them with the mature plants, on the window sills, for dormancy?

I have tried a variety of temperates....and have killed them all, eventually. All I have right now is P. primuliflora.
