Hi Steve,
Some advice I got from this forum was to plant Ferraria in tall pots so you could plant them deeply. Going from a one gallon pots to ones that are about 12" tall solved my lack of boom with F. crispa. As I recall I planted them about halfway up. Unfortunately they start to take up a lot of room in the big pots and they are heavy.

I'd appreciate some help on these. I've got two or three. No problem
keeping them alive, and they put up a lot of foliage - they're in growth
now - and multiply very well. But they never flower.
I've got them in my standard fast draining mix, 1:1:1 potting
soil:///pumice:coarse/ sand. They're kept at the south end of the greenhouse
in the highest light I have.
