U. humboldtii and U. nelumbifolia

 

[RICHARD UK]

Neither of these species are easy. I have been tempted to get hold of U. Humboldtii on many occasions but gave up after realising how specialised care they need.

 

[Tamlin Dawnstar]

Most growers have found that both these species do better in a waterlogged sphagnum: it is difficult to mimic the conditions in habitat where they grow in broms.

I grow both. nelumbifolia is very easy. see a picture:
