This one has tried to die on me for years, and finally seemed to
stabilize last summer. Finally blooming again on a small plant perched
on the edge of its pot with its few live growths clustered together and
roots atop the medium, its growth habit remind me of L.anceps in that
those never do well for me until they've grown over the edge of the pot.
They always struggle, are sickly and weak, with floppy leaves. Then
after overgrowing the pot, they fatten up suddenly, leaves harden and
they bloom. Which is why, now that I have a GH, I have recently mounted
them. I wonder if this plant would do well monted or, conversely, in
semi-hydro? Anyone know for sure in either case?

At any rate, I originally saw this at a big show (Mid-Am?), a large
plant with probably two dozen or more flowers and had to have it. Now
that it's blooming again after several years, I remember why.

Oh Tennis this is a really magic orange, love it. Good growing & I have a
few of those
plants that jump the pots too.

Wow, what a color. No wonder you had to have it!

I have this plant and it grows like a weed.

I have it in a 10 inch clay pot with a cocohusk/aliflor mix. I had 3 or
4 heads of flowers on it then one more is blooming now as a late
bloomer. I think it got a ribbon at the Richmond Show last month.

Great plant!

I can't explain why it doesn't put roots down into your medium. What
are you potting it in?
