8 years? What is the plant?

Most of them take nowhere near that although some probably do.

Well, I have heard 7 years for many phrags. This one was likely delayed a year because of the move across Canada. Perhaps it wasn't too happy. This is an unknown cross. the grower couldn't remember which 2 he crossed.

Hi Dub,
Do you know the name of the 'soilless mix?' If it was round clay balls (known by several commercial names, including LECA, Hydroton and a few others), then growing Phrags this way (called semi-hydroponics or s/h) is pretty darn productive.

Below is a picture of a Phrag. Memoria Dick Clements after four months of growing in s/h. It was a plant I won for $2 at the HOTOS auction as a dying plant that had few viable roots. It perked up quickly and instantly threw a flower spike. A year later (now), the plant is even bigger and I'm expecting blooms at some point this year. I also have several other Phrags growing this way that are very happy.
