I had a plug that did great for a while in peat/sand too, and then it flowered and immediately died. I have since been growing in LFS and it grows and flowers like crazy!

Regarding the U. calycifida, I put it in a mix of peat/sand like you mentioned, and it looked great for a while...It is still putting on a flowering show, but the leaves are drying and the whole plant looks crappy. A friend of mine recommended switching it to a pot with LFS, and a top dressing of live sphagnum, and also decreasing the amount of light it gets (I have mine under T5-HO's). I also have longifolia kept in a net pot; mine throws out tons of shoots, and new leaves, but I noticed mine also has the brown tips that yours has. I'm not familiar with the first 2 plants you've posted...However do I notice a gorgeous D. schizandra photo-bombing in the background!? HahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
