Phaedranassa Virdiflora
The Silent Seed (Mon, 11 May 2015 05:58:24 PDT)

I grow several Phaeds, as I call them - and you may have gotten those from
me on Ebay - I grow them all in Pro Mix, and they flower for me. (This is
what I do for all of my Hippeastrum types, and they like it - as opposed to
a coarser mix.)
Do you use fertilizer? I do not.
Best, Jude

Hi Heather,

I kinda made it up after reading some of the posts on free draining mixes
and I use this as my typical (default) mix. Depending on the plant, I will
make adjustments to the mix and make it either finer or coarser. I have
quite a few clivia and they seem to prefer the coarser mix. After doing a
little research on Phaedranassa, I figured they would appreciate a similar
free draining and organic mix. Do you grow Phaedranassa?

Warm Regards,
Fred

How did you come up with your planting mix?

Hello Folks,

I just unpotted a large pot of this Phaedranassa in the hopes of
getting it to bloom. Originally I purchased three bulbs and now have a
pot full of them but no blooms. I'm thinking they don't like my soil
mixture (peat mix, perlite, small redwood chips, small coco chips,
granite, coarse sand and
charcoal) it's the same I use for the clivias and they seem to like it
due to its free draining nature. Like I said, they've grown and
multiplied but no blooms. I even keep them cool and dry in the winter
like the clivias, but.no dice. What am I doing wrong? Help?

Warm Regards,
