Dutchman's Gold

Post by PreSam »

This one bloomed for me in January with 3 spikes with the longest spike having 19 flowers. Mr Cym's advice on potting and fertilizing is working wonders.

Gary, I live in the Southwestern part of India about a kilometer inland from the sea. It is typically a monsoon-fed region with heavy showers during June and July followed by lighter showers until December. April and May are the hottest months with temperatures reaching upto 37 degrees Celsius. Night temperatures around this time are about 29 degrees. During December and January the lowest my night temperature will reach is 21 degrees though the average would be 23 degrees. It is a very humid region being wedged between the Arabian Sea on the West and the Western Ghats to the East.
