I got this plant in a trade a few years ago. It's been in semi-hydroponic culture since I got it, and has grown fairly well, but this is the first bloom:

Is is named? It looks like "Firm White"/"Snow White" /"Pink panther. " All of which bloomed out alike for me. Estacion posted awhile back on that breeding. It's a good grower though. Regardless, nice job, it's a cutie.

I love these things. Lots of bang for the buck and they hardly take up any space. Well done.

I have no idea, the plant came as an untagged extra in the trade.

I'd like to see a picture of the plant in the pot, if possible?

Just moved it from a standard 4" terra cotta pot that I kept in a tray to this vessel I drilled for traditional semi-hydroponic culture:

During warm weather the plant sits in about the brightest situation I can provide, and gets a nice red color to the leaves. I just don't have sufficient high light winter space to maintain it.

Well, that's cute, Subrosa! I wouldn't have guessed semi hydro would work with those. I'm going to have some to trade this spring. Gives one food for thought on growing techniques.
