Hello from the Bay Area

[Pingserasaur]

Hey guys, I'm a pretty new grower (if my profile didn't already give it away haha). I recently acquired a young P. Gigantea and D. Multifida var. Extrema about 3 weeks ago. I turned online for tips and help on growing them, and stumbled upon this site. Its great to see a bunch of other interested and interesting people growing these unusual plants.

I suggest consulting this page if you haven't done so already. Your form of D. binata is one of the unique forms that do well as a subtropical year-round.

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to check out the BACPS.

jimscott - I'm hoping to find a few of the largest species of pings and produce a huge specimen over the generations
