Been 3 years since this thread updated...it hasn't flowered yet, but my B. reducta is still growing steady

Very nice.
I grow Brocchinia reducta.

So this isn't a Brocchinia, but I don't really want to make a full thread just for it...

Nearly killed it by fertilizing when I first got it. Ignoring it has resulted in much better condition

I got one coming in 2 days that I'm really excited for

Were you able to pollinate that? Looks like a tall grass flower!

My brocchinia Reducta, one year old. Glad it survived. It was bagged for many months. It caught a bug for 1st time!.
It has 2 pups but they are stunted.

Wow, ten year old topic, lots of history here. I really want a Brocchinia next time I place an order sometime!

Still ignoring my Catopsis, and it's still happier that way

B. reducta has split into multiple pups again, will eventually get a photo of that, and hechtioides has nearly matched it in height.

 

[Rocketgirl]

I think, my catopsis is not very happy with the ignoring treatment.

While reducta is well on the way to breaking its current pot from all the pups it made, cousin hechtioides has decided to join the bloom run (and has so far, one single pup)

My B. Accuminata. Not a reducta or carnivorous. Growing in a grow tent.

Finally pulled the reducta out of the corner to separate all the pups...out of this, kept one to reestablish and there are 5, maybe 6 others being prepped to go elsewhere
