I have not grown mine to its actual potential yet, so can't tell you how big they will grow in our climate. But by other people's accounts, the leaves could grow to 10 cm long. Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy Wantlistcosmoking

Its hard to say how big this variety will get-they seem to reach maturity(flowering size) within about a year but after that I dont know how big its gonna grow, you'l just have to wait and see... Link to Post - Back to Top Loggedameliepoulain

« Reply #9 on 24 Jul, 2007, 4:54 »These will need stratification though-I did a pot without stratification and one without, and none germinated in the non stratified pot and only 1 seedlign came up(thats still getting bigger and bigger) in the stratified pot. So you may want to divide the seed up equally and try both methods like me and see what comes up. Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedDavid

« Reply #10 on 24 Jul, 2007, 9:04 »bifurcatum, is your plant a tropical one or is it temperate. I might be wrong but to my understanding there are tropical and temperate D. intermedias. If yours is temperate, then you should follow what cosmo suggest.
