It is a very healthy plant. As January rolled into February, it basically sat there taking up space. But as March rolled in, the roots started displaying color and elongating. Mid-March, I started breaking the minimal water rule and drenching the plants in water. I was examining my plants and came across this Daiseikai 大聖海, it had two bloom spikes.

I cannot wait for the blooms!

WOOOOOO!!!!!! Awesome! :wtg:

Thank you Sonya. I hope I don't blast these buds with undue attention!

It is a nice plant!
Don't given it TOO much attention so it will bloom better ;)

I know...is it possible to be superstitious when growing Neofinetia? That is probably par for the course of collecting Neos!:)

Wow great growing it is very happy with you. Keep the pic of it's progress coming. :)

Real nice, but I think you twisted the name in the photos in the latest post.

Daiseikai is what it was in thread title.

FWIW, you do also possess an actual Daiseiryu leading off your "Contorted and Twisted Neofinetia falcata" thread:
