yeah, I read that pygmys can do that. If I keep the temps back will it still grow? In the Savage Garden it says that you can grow most of them through the summer.
I grow this species. It is a summer sensitive species, and for me always goes dormant in the summer. Very Dormant! Survival of dormancy involves encouraging the long roots to grow that will be needed to sustain this species through it's dry dormancy. Short pots limit these roots and I always lose my plants in typical 4 inch pots. This season I used a very deep terra cotta pot, and managed to bring a few rosettes through. Sort of. I am hoping they form gemmae. I'd like to try CpK2's method of using added perlite, for some reason I feel the peat/sand idea is wrong for this species, and that they need additional aeration. This is just feelings though, I haven't done any real testing of the idea, although CpK2 has had success with other sensitive species using it.
