Neostylis Lou Sneary "mounted"
Just got this Neostylis Lou Sneary 'Bluebird' and as I got ii I was bit surprised, cause the plant really is ... not as handsome as others can be. Stiff, curved leaves, spotted and wrinkled, a stout little plant, oh yes, its strong, and I hope it will flower (it seems it has never flowered), but ... what to do with this little ugly?
As mounting on wood is not so good over here, no humidity and often windy days, I usually make baskets according to the plants shape. For this I decided to give him a "mount" or a "basket", made of regular grown twigs, same length all, filled with palm tree fibre and pieces of cinnamon. I don't know if the roots of Neostylis like to attach themselves, if so, they have plenty to do so...
When do Neostylis bloom for you? Flowering can happen all the year?
