Hey kc. . I am samuel. .. .just call me sam. . . . . . . . . How do I do dry dormancy? I only know how to do fridge . . . . .

Re: Dormancy
 

Just leave it where it is and maintain the media just damp. You should remove the water tray so that the media won't be soaked in the water. The plant should looked very ugly at this time but be patient and don't do anything yet.
Change the growing media and do the repotting after 2 months. Leave the newly repotted plant in a bright spot (no direct sun), move it out for full sun after a week. The plant should be able to wake up from the dormancy.:laugh:

Re: Dormancy
 

Aiyo..... please don't call me sifu lah.... I believe we are all still learning from each other, so we just help each other:laugh:
You may transfer them to growing media in a week time. I used 2 peat : 1 perlite as media. Please make sure the roots are in the peat and after transfer, drop a few drops of water to the plantlet gently to make sure roots are properly covered by peat. Place it in bright shade. Always moniter the water level in the tray and make sure the media around the plantlet is always damp.

And do I need to put a thin layer of peat on top and some LFS In the bottom?lfs is to hold more moisture.
