Regular price $85.00 Sale

Origins: Hybrid created by Pam Koide

Bloom: Short, compound inflorescence with pink/salmon colored bracts and purple flowers

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light, some direct light okay

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 2 hours as necessary.  Be sure to thoroughly dry center and base of plant after soaking to avoid rotting

 

This is one of Pam's signature hybrids.  It's a densely lepidote, compact, semi bulbous plant with slightly recurved leaves and a nice bloom.  Looks great as a little clump but can also steal the show as a single plant.  I can grow these in full sun here in San Diego; both parents are quite sun tolerant.  I would call this a must have as far as xeric hybrids go
