Sophronitis coccinea

This is a line breed plant of Sophronitis coccinea by Dick Stone who has done a lot of work with this species.I've stopped trying to grow these and bark and moved all of the to mounts recently.

 

I had them in bark (some in medium and some in fine bark) in net pots. I know that some of them dried pretty well between waterings, but they just didn't do well. Perhaps just not enough air movement? or they need to dry much faster and the wet dry cycle took to long. Duh, I guess that's another way of saying they stayed to wet. In the pots they were watered every 4 to 5 days. Now the are watered every day, but dry quickly.

 

Leptosperum.
