Does Gypsum work with most of them? Pinguiculaman suggested a mix that contained crushed coral.

 

[jeff 2]

it is OK , for the calcareous temperate ping also.

for the gypsophylous ( like P.gypsicola - P.medusinae - P.immaculata P.nivalis etc) for my part I use pure gypsum with river sand 50/50

LOL! I may have taken French as a 'foreign language', in junior high..... but j'ai oublie a lot of it! What is your opinion of the use of freezed dried bloodworms for Mexican pings?

 

[jeff 2]

Bonjour

I d'not use this bloodworms.

for all my mexican and temperate ping I let nature do, they take their prey in summer when they are outside of mid-May to mid-October.

if for example the US subtropical or the Caribbean, I use glitter for aquarium fish

I combined Mexican ping pots and put all of them in containers, on 5 different window sills, to dry out and respond to the natural photoperiod, and hopefully go dormant and flower next spring.

[jimscott]

Do you treat leaf sprouts and young plants differently than established / mature plants, with regard to the 'dormancy' time of year?

 

[jeff 2]

for young and leaves buds, always the same treatment like the mature in the nature

have you try the temperate ?

jeff

 

[jimscott]

So can leave them with the mature plants, on the window sills, for dormancy?

I have tried a variety of temperates....and have killed them all, eventually. All I have right now is P. primuliflora.
