So my pretty Den that I got last year in bloom, promptly after flowering decided it was a good idea to grow some keikis. Well here’s one of them:

Isn’t he just amazing? The mother plant is currently growing buds. I’ve kept the keikis in the house thinking they won’t be blooming as they’re too young, clearly I was wrong about that. I have however moved the original plant to my cool (or really cold in winter) conservatory, because winter rest and such. I’m starting to think that it wasn’t necessary and what really matters is the temperature difference. A few of other Dens that I decided to put in the cold didn’t bloom or are growing some buds, but not many. Den Stardust ‘Firebird’ however looks like it’s going to have a decent amount of blooms, just like it’s keikis.

I think next winter all the plants are staying at home. They still get a temp difference as it drops in winter to around 10C even sometimes, and around 12-15C most nights, during daytime it’s around 18-20C. Which I’m hoping will be enough for all the Dens to rebloom, as the ones that stayed in the house did.
