A flask of 12-15 seedlings of Dockrillia bowmanii – pods on plants from Gloucester area. Very ready for deflask with sound top growth and extensive roots. Epiphytic or lithophytic in natural habitat forming longish clumps. Flowers about 3 times a year from late February to June. A fairly high light requiring species. Sent by Express Post, deflasked and transferred into a light weight, robust plastic container protected with moist sphagnum moss and / or styrene foam beads.
They do well if mounted or potted in Clay Pellets or medium bark. They prefer their roots to dry out fairly quickly after watering. Fertilise regularly, straight away with dilute soluble fertiliser and / or small amount of pelletised Chicken Manure such as Rapid Raiser or Dynamic Lifter. Place out with the rest of your similar plants. Don’t mollycoddle. Avoid frost.
