This humilis started flowering during last week of Jan and is on the same temperature as the praecox and maculata,approx 18C at night and 20C during the day.
I also have a number of saxicola on the same temperature since nov 1011 and they are showing some leaf growth since begin Jan 2012.

Jan,
Can you just confirm that your P. humilis doesn't have a cold dormancy. How long have you been doing this and do you think it is better because of it.

Graham,
I only had these from the first week of Jan 2012 with strong shoots and the advice to 'apply gentle heat and moisture during winter period'.
I also grow warm , P. Barcena which all flowered strongly in Dec and now have 4 inches of leaf and strong roots.
And the same for P. Wharfdale 'Pinewarbler'

Thanks Jan,
I understand now. If mine were showing signs of waking up I would do the same.

Springwood Pleiones
states that Pleione humilis needs gentle warmth and moisture throughout winter. I always keep them dry in the coldest part of my pleione fridge but have to confess that I'm not really successful flowering them

By Ian, we should keep them at cold conditions in the winter. I have mine in average temperature from 0 to +2 °C (... last week -2°C
) and they flower usually in the first week in March. Nowadays they develop buds 1 cm long.

Flowering now Pleione Sirena. I've had 3 pseudobulbs, two of them have already flowered, one had blush pink petals/sepals and the other one nearly white ones.

Wow, you're efficient, half of mine are still left in their pots, and I can't even start thinking of re-potting them until the snow thaws and it's possible to find moss...

Sirena is Pln forrestii x humilis. I guess it's the humilis that made it flower early. But I have to say, most of my pleiones are going crazy. The warm winter has set them off. My Zeus Weinstein are going to flower in a couple of weeks' time and the
formosana
are the same. Never had that problem before. Usually I have to push them to be out mid March for the London Orchid Show. I hope they haven't all flowered by then.

That's quite a collection Maren.
A photo is a must when they are at their best.
