Hi,
I put it under full sun.1 part peat and 1 part perlite for the medium, and keep it very wet all the time. Same like how i grow my sarra.

My P. primuliflora alway blooms when raining season. I guess the temperature drop is the main trigger for it to blooms. « Last Edit: Dec 6, 2007, 11:59pm by piscesilim »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedLim bifurcatum

how much is the cheapest temperature gauge ? can we buy those for sale in aquariums to measure water temperature ? i always wanted to know what the temp in my garden is coz sometimes, it`s so cold at nite, i`m actually shivering.

btw Law, congrats for the flower. i`m still waiting for mine to bloom. « Last Edit: Dec 7, 2007, 12:19pm by tarence »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged bifurcatum
