Project update. Mine has 3 blooms working right now. It is like the energizer bunny. It just keeps going and going and going.

Default UPDATE

Here's what mine looks like at the moment. The leaves are not looking that 'fresh' anymore....
But at least it's putting out 5 new roots and a leaf!


Would love to see updates of how are all the other Haraella progect plants are doing?

Wow the leaves on yours are huge! Mine is potted so perhaps that is a reason why mine are not as long...and different lighting makes a difference too. Anyways....mine is putting out new roots and I think a spike. It think it just about that time of year again for it to start blooming! I can't wait!

I'm with Becca, your leaves are huge! Mine is also potted and the leaf length is approx. 2 inches(51mm) I'll try for a picture later this week. Mine is still real healthy and blooms fairly regularly. I'm glad we picked this for the project, I would never had considered growing this otherwise.

Way to grow!
After a year of struggling mine finally bit the dust in December.

Terri and Joann, I'm really sorry to hear the bad news. I really hope you both try again! YOU MUST!!YesI measured & my leaves are long! I had not realised as It's a minature...
I had 2 bought as the project plant originally (hubby was super & ordered 2 instead of one)
You are not alone ! I too lost one last year...although out of the 2, one was always slightly bigger & grew faster and she is the one I still have.
The bark mount fell apart on the slower growing one and I decided to remount on a piece of hard wood..It did not take in my conditions. (I won't be doing that again with this species)
I replaced mine from the same grower I had bought from. This time it came potted. I have left if potted in bark (tiny pot) & have had it from summer last year (TC) to the project plant last summer.
It's growing roots and leaves & I know it will flower for me this year
I water the mounted one every 2/3 days by soaking. The potted one gets watered about once every two weeks. They both live in my terrarium. average temp 20°C; humidity 80 %
If I ever decide to re pot/mount It will be on bark as this one is.
Also, seeing how it is growing I think I will be sticking it onto an other bigger bark mount in the future.That is, instead of completely changing the mount as I did before. I mean to succeed with these as they are so rewarding! Hope this helps someone.
& get yourselves an other one is all I can say..

Bill I measured & the longest leaf is 7 cms long...
