Loving my new hybrids

  • #21
Hey guys. Quick note on spath x spec. I got one from Tony a couple years ago. here's the secret.
I never water it! I ignore it completely! The soil is completely bone dry! Nothing could possibly grow in those conditions. It's probably 5' tall with basal shoots, and node shoots. It's freaking out!

my 2 cents.

Tony,
My plant looks fine. I wasn't really alarmed that the pitchers were drying out, just commenting that since it is the only one that happened to, maybe it is a little more fussy than the other. The thinner pitcher walls explains it very well. I'm still loving my new plants!!!

Robin,
Surely it must get water from somewhere, or are you suggesting I grow mine like a cactus too. I'll try to water it less. And you ignore it completely. No, "Good evening, it's nice to see you again", or "My, you look lovely tonight".

Hehe!
yep ignore it completely! no nice words, no sympathy! I may water it if I remember every 2 weeks or so. When I do you can see dust puff up from the soil being so dry. It's outgrowing my chamber! I'm gonna chop it in half. Should really take off then! not all neps apprecciate this kind of treatment. most of my neps are pampered and spoon fed.
