Maybe you guys can give me some advice... I got a starter plug of U. reniformis a year ago and put it in a pretty large pot that I just completely filled with LFS. It colonized the pot pretty quickly, but the leaves have never lasted very long and now it only grows leaves right at the edge of the pot and very few at a time. I keep it in very shallow standing water but tend to let the tray dry out between watering. I didn't provide any seasonal variation through the winter but plan on doing so in the future.

Barry Rice lists this as an emergent. I grow it wet in 7-8" pots of live Sphagnum only allowing the tray to dry in winter. Stephen Morley grows his in deep trays of Sphagnum gloop.

I've had words with this chap but he still seems determined to do it his way.  |

After following Freds advice and growing my plant in a very deep tray method in live sphagnum I finally have a few leaves and a plant worth growing  |

My plant is still doing well but I was wondering what the spotting on the leaves was, maybe normal aging or sunburn , would also like to ask when the best time to remove from the tray and allow the pot to dry out for winter  |

Not sur on the protocol of what some term thread bumping but here is the current status of my U. reniformis. Corky mine was out, allbeit in an unheated greenhouse over winter, standing in some water at all times, so was probably in similar conditions, it may come back. Attachments:

I hope you're right Steve, no sign of any life though and I've had a pretty good dig about

I left my reniformis pot in the garage over winter (it had pretty much died back completely before that for some reason anyway) and there's at least 5 good leaves coming up now. That's more than its done since last spring.
