thanks thez I saw that malesiana made a hamata x platychilla cross have you investigated this one at all? cant imagine a flattened toothy peristome but if it could be pulled off, i'd sure love to see it!!!

 

[thez_yo]

Short answer: yes. Mine's still wee because I torture my plants, but it's an OK grower I'd say. Long answer:

not many mature uppers to evaluate but a few on cpphotofinder look like their peristome is a bit flattened.

hope yours turns out be be a winner

Absolutely gorgeous! How do you cool the plants at night?

 

[mylesG]

i use an A/C unit to chill water that is in a cooler. the cold water is pumped through a small PC radiator in the tank with fan attached. it cools the air very well and with a controller such as a hygrotherm, the day n night tmeps can be set precisely.

thank you for stoppin in all the plants are so happy now, growth should really take off the next cpl months!

 

[Sundrew]

Cool, thanks for the method. I've been trying to see if I can minimize my power consumption with a homemade evaporative cooler. It's been working pretty well for my 30 gallon tank. Still can't get over how awesome your plants look, though.

[CreatureTom]
