Ideal for: Indoors/Outdoors

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary.  Be careful to give good air flow and proper dry time as it has a bulbous base like caput-medusae

 

This is a statement hybrid that has the general shape of caput-medusae and is densely covered in trichomes like chiapensis.  Bloom is a great balance of the two parents, this is definitely a must have hybrid
