Well-established size plant in a 3.25" pot. One of our in-house hybrids! We have been impressed with this cross's vigor and ability to flower at a very young age. Because of the plant's height, it ships at the "2 plant" rate.
These plants will stay compact and relatively small (we expect them to max out at about a foot tall). Produces 1-3 1" pink flowers at each node on leafless, mature canes. The older, leafless canes produce flowers for several years so the show just keeps getting better! This plant does well mounted, in hanging baskets or in a pot.
Care: cool-hot (doesn't mind slightly cooler temps in the winter), bright indirect light, wet spring-fall with regular feeding, and a drier winter rest period.
