Josh ,

thank you !
...and good luck for your plant with flowering  :D


my plant looks not so nice in this time ...it has lost near all leaves - one is growing now again

The plant is now 20 cm high ....and the flower stem 30 cm ...so you have a idea

Hans, does yours typically lose all it's leaves?  Mine are about the same size as yours, are they smaller plants?  I guess I expected them to be as large as Worsleya or close!  Of course there isn't much information published regarding this specie!

Josh ,

I think it is not typical that this plant lose the leaves in winter time .....the both last winters my plant has leaves all the year around .
In this winter I had a lot of problems with all my winter green or winter growing Amaryllidaceae like Scadoxus ,Eithea , Griffinia ,Hippeastrum with the "red blotched disease" - the reason is not Stagonospora curtisi ...the problem comes through mites .
Now after some treatments with really good akarzides and more the problem seems solved ...and my plants recover ...slow ...

The "stem" of my Pamianthe has on the ground a diameter of 3,0 cm ....so you can compere

Mine flowered again for the second time last September. This HAS to be one of the most beautiful plants around; the only annoying thing about it is its habit of leaning over everything else - it just takes up a bit too much space. Here it is potted in a 10" (25cm) plastic pot.

P.S. I have frozen pollen available if anybody would like some to pollinate their flowers.

Rogan, it is not leaning. It is an epiphyte that grew from high on the trees and points to the ground looking for pollinators.

Rogan, it is not leaning.

A stunning epiphyte, and well worth the space it takes.

Alberto have you written any articles or books as you seem to have so many insights into different plants.

I don't think you will have problems growing Pamianthe indoors, just as long as the spot you choose is bright, airy and you use a free-draining potting medium. I must confess though that my plant grows outdoors the year round under shade cloth.
