Phaedranassa Virdiflora (Rick Buell)

Hi Rick,

I'll be doing the same thing and I am in the process of sending my extra offsets to Dell to share with the group.

Warm Regards,
Fred

This has been very helpful--thanks all! I'm obviously keeping mine too shallow and too dry in dormancy. I don't mind having extra offsets though, and would like to swap (if anyone is interested) since mine are of a generic clone.

Thanks,
Rick Buell

I agree with Nhu. Mine bloom well, and I have found all Phaedranassas
to be very un-fussy about the potting medium. You might try planting
them deeper, they do not want the bulb exposed. Deep planting tends to
discourage offsetting and therefore the bulb can get large enough to
produce a flower bud. Mine never dry out. The climate here is very
cool and damp, so even without watering there is moisture in the medium
and I water them about once a month in winter.
