My first pings

[Brolloks]

Hi,

I have had these little fellows for 5 months now. P. Emarginata X Ehlersiae

Almost caught a moth. The brown stuff on leaves are moth scales

Nice! Love the pink color of the leaves. P.emarginata seems to be dominating the leaf shape.

Nice colour... just want to ask hows the condition for this ping? Did u put it on direct sunblast? I just got my ehlersiae from my friend... but now in recovery stage...

Thanks!

@porq
I have got them growing under 2ft T8 lights 6500k and 3500K. My setup has got 6 T8 tubes next to each other, but my pings are directly under 2 of the 6 lights and are about 3 inches from the bulbs.
I will be removing them from the lights and find a spot somewhere else when dormancy starts.

It is interesting that I have been unable to find any other mention of the hybrid P. emarginata x ehlersiae anywhere. I wonder where this plant originated?

@brolloks
do u think if put my ehlersiae at glass house with direct sun will be survive?

@Bobz, I got the plant from a grower in the western cape south africa. Not exactly sure where he got it from

@porq, i had mine growing outside but they were not doing so well for me, not really sure why as i brought them indoors and placed them under the lights and they took off really well. Would love to start growing some outside as a test.
