Cischweinfia popowiana

What a fun species to pronounce!

 

I've got C. sheehaniae, and couldn't find much info on the water requirements. Do you think it would be safe to assume this one also likes to dry between watering?

 

Thanks! It's definitely underpotted -- overflowing a 3" pot -- so I'll try keeping it a bit drier than I have been.

 

I received it in bud and it bloomed shortly after I got it, which was about two years ago, but since then, nothing. Vegetative growth is pretty impressive - I had no idea this plant grew so quickly - but no sign at all of any more blooms. So, I was thinking of either changing up the watering routine, or maybe giving it more light.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that before I adjust the watering routine.

 

nice one

 

Thanks for the great advice, Marni. I moved the plant four inches closer to the lights and cut back a bit on the water; not even two months later, and I can already count at least five spikes just starting.
