what species or hybrid ? x'Florian , debbertiana - jaumavensis - ehlersae have you some flower ?

for me it is a hydroponic substrate , 'in situ ' the substrate is quite different

the dormancy is necessary for a lot of plant , otherwise they would wither .

here for the mexican ping the succulent stage are necessary for them like 'in situ'

some of mine in mineral substrate actually not in dormancy

Got a question. I put Ping in full light but the leaves like not sticky anymore to trap insects. I saw a few ants running around happily on it like mocking at my face . Can it due to strong like that like dry up the sticky substances? And the leaves look kind of wilted as well mayb not enough water? (i do put in water tray though)
Here is the pic (shld hv posted earlier sry )

They are P. ehlersiae. I have P. 'Florian' and P. jaumavensis as well. Still got no flower. I used to try 100% inorganic media. But the plants were not doing well.

I think tropical climate won't trigger Mex. Pings to dormant. At least for my plants. Let's see how they doing after several years.

Put it under 70% shade. It will produce dews again.

a nice x'Tina'

I am OK with PISCESILIM keep it in shade , but also the 'mucilage' often is the result to the temperature difference's from day to night, it is also a lead


PISCESILIM

in your country What are your outside temperature mini ?

have you the possibility to keep these ping between november to may in 10-12°c ?

jeff

[piscesilim]

The lowest temperature is 23 °C during the raining season. But usually is 25-26 °C. The maximum temperature is 36-37 °C. I can't provide temperature as low as 10 °C.

My P. gypsicola and P. 'Florian'.
