So nice, but the one I bought from you died. I think my growing conditions is just not right. However, it grew a little plantlet for me before it died. Hope this survives.
Nice clean white flower.

How do you tell that it's starved of light? Difference in the leaves?

1) It is a rather deep green colour and the leaves are saggy
2) The flower is not as colourful as it could be and it is also saggy with bent back petals
3) You cant even see any sticky glands on it-a healthy primuliflora receiving lots of sunlight would have a lot of mucus. This one has barely any.

They do like a LOT of sunlight and water. I grow mine in full sun with water almos tup to the brim of the pot. It thrives and grows very qucikly and vigorously.

i think the sunlight intensity is different in UK....but i`ll experiment with 1 ping to see how it goes. i`ve read that p.primulifloras might get roasted in our tropical weather under full sun. it`s practically white heat here nowadays.
will post updates. Lim, you try too yah ?

Hmm... Actually I try before. The P. primuliflora's leaves turn more yellow and narrower under 100% full sunlight and not dying. « Last Edit: May 24, 2007, 12:36pm by piscesilim »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedLim tarence

Sounds like my d.adelae, coz my shade version is broad leaf, my sun version is spear shaped & narrow.
Cosmoking : is yellow coloured leafs an unhealthy shade for pings ? as opposed to the deep green colour you mentioned.

Oh thats not true. The reason they're getting roasted is because people keep them too dry in full sun(i.e. water isnt up to the rim of the pot) I know when I say this because I lost a primuliflora like this last year by letting the water drop(by accident) very low. It died. 
This species is also from sub Tropical Florida-the light intensity is roughly the same as in Malaysia during the Summer I believe. It is often found growing on the edge of streams in very wet conditions, sometimes even found to be completely submerged in water!
It depends what kind of yellow leaves, Tarence. Some Pings like P. primuliflora tend to become more vigorous but also yellow-ish in full sun. This is normal.
Other times when Pings, particurlarly Mexican Pings, become yellow because of lack of nutrition. Ive started to use some normal potting mix when I pot them up(it makes up roughly 1/6 to 1/10 of the compost) the yellow colour is gone and whats more, they grow much more vigorously.
