I also got a couple of nice young sanderianum seedlings. First one is a nice big one from Al's, well, big for a sanderianum seedling anyway! Second from Windy Hill, has some catching up to do - hopefully it will be envious of its' big brothers' size and GROW!

Wonderful! Absolutely gorgeous and such well grown plants! :joy: Your roeb flowers will be just spectacular. Mine is still in bloom and 2 more spikes coming up.

You'd better post pics of YOUR new "baby" tomorrow, Paphraguy!
(that was the understatement of the year!) :P
I'm so jealous! But, I love mine also - thanks for the nice comments, they are lovely. Though, I just realized the little guy is only half what I thought the cross was, 'Dragon Dance' x 'Dark Spider'. That's cool though...

New plants! :Party: Ummm...can I have the philip? So glad to see you're still sticking with the compact growers...

Ummm, if i can have your 12-14" sand? :poke:

On second thought, ummm *just* no. :cheeky:

I'm quite happy about my phil. var. roeb. (Yep, I am a slippah splittah!) LOL!!

Hi Heather, very nice plants ! I was wondering your big sanderianum seedling you just got what is the leaf spand and how long will it take to get it to bloom? I heard they are very slow growers .

I was just wondering thanks for the info. :lol:

It is just a little over 8" and gosh, I don't know, 10-15 years maybe? *yawn* Yeah, they're pretty slow growers. I've also heard they don't bloom generally until there are several new starts in addition to the mature growth. The other one is 5" and I have a third that is also about 8" but not quite as robust as this one.

I thought I read where you could not buy anymore plants :lol: , but there is always room for just one more or however many you brought home :poke:

Beautiful looking plants. I'd kill to get a decent size sanderianum. They are just not available in Australia. You can buy plants just out of flask from time to time, but they are so small I would just be wasting my money. Anyone from Australia seen larger plants for sale?

I'm a bit amazed at the variation in size of these roebellinii's. Your's looks so compact yet it is still flowering. I don't know if you saw mine. Each leave would be considerably longer than your whole plant. Too big for a small glasshouse.

I have 2 different roeb crosses, one is more compact like Heather's new roeb and the other is larger with longer more slender looking leaves.

make sure the big one gets more water.

Yes, well, technically, I said that *after* these had been purchased - I was just waiting it to warm up enough for them to ship. :D I actually have been holding the roeb. since January! Winter....pffftt!

Thanks all for the nice comments. Steve - yes, will water more of course. David, this roeb. is very much like my roeb. aureum 'Greenlace' which is very compact and a dense grower. Both have very juicy thick short leaves. There's a photo of the 'Greenlace' in the "which plant has your favorite leaves" thread.

Hi Heather that is a nice Roeb. did that come from Al's also. and it is in spike too good going. Ray
