I have tried time and time again to keep Ping's but everytime I am met with failure. My first bings I got around December of last year. They were P. Moranensis. Those were actually pretty hardy and survived for about 3 months and managed to even flower. However in a weeks time they seemingly disappeared into goo. Since then I have owned about 4-5 P. Primuliflora as those are pretty cheep and they are always being sold at Lowe's, Meijer etc. However I can't even keep those alive for a week! The first Primuliflora I got I tried to acclimate to a lower humidity. I swear the dang thing wilted in like 10 minutes. Then comes the next two which I decided to try and acclimate to a lower humidity by leaving the cover off for about 10 or so minutes only this time I filled a big bowl up with water and placed them in it in a hope the bowl would give them a little extra humidty. However those forwhatever reason died in about a week. I recently order some plants off the internet however there was a $25 minumum order so I said aw what the heck and bought another primuliflora. However I said aha! I will leave this in it's cover and place it in a shady spot in my yard... it of course turns brown in a week. So this is the last plant I will attempt to master. Yesterday I went out and bought another ping and currently have the cover on. How do I keep this thing alive, and acclimate it to living out doors? Humidity shouldn't be a problem as the humidity where I live is generally between 50%-60% + I live in a very humid part of Ohio but they wilt in a couple minutes if I take the cover off to try and acclimate them. If I leave the cover on the leaves turn brown and rot. If I take it off they wilt. It seems as if even if I leave the cover off fora minute or two and put it back on they seem to wilt and die in a day or two. If this plant dies I think I am just going to give up till I get a greenhouse or at least start from seed from now on...
