Here's a picture of the Ping Moranensis I bought from Cooks. It has grown a bit since I got it in February.

Here's what it looked like when I got it on February 15, 2006.

Great job of restoration! What exactly did you do?

I just cut off the weak/rotting leaves (and stuck on top of some LFT to generate some baby pings...which worked and now got about four babies coming along) and then just left it in the water tray and was patient.
Its is in a peat/perlite 50/50 mix.
Just today I cut off an older leaf which is getting covered over by a newer and larger leaf and put it into some LFS to generate some more baby pings.

Let me know when you have an extra. We'll have to work something out. Stephen

Wow nice ping! I have a P. moranesis too, I bought mine in January, and it's been doing quite well, but it has produced four buds, all of which have shrivelled up and died before they could bloom May I ask what LFS is, and how it works?

LFS stands for Long Fibred Sphagnum moss and cane be purhased dry, at your local garden centre in small bags. Given enough water, light, and time, the spores on the dried will result in the moss becoming alive. Here's what the live looks like: Sorry to hear about yor moranensis. I'm sure a forum member would be willing to share another. There are a variety of approaches to propogate by leaf cuttings. I have tried putting leaves in slightly moist, sealed baggies and placed at an east window. Weekes later, new plants formed. Also, I am now placing leaves right next to the mother plant, exposed to the air. That also works well:

All my pings are starting to come out of their winter states and just about all are either flowering or on their way. That p. moranensis that keeps losing flowers is probably in need of a little more light. with summer on the way a sunny window should perk it right up. Here are mine right now: Ping tray New buds Flower The tray is full of pings (I think 15 total) so I might put a few up for trade or just SASE in the next few weeks. Zac

Very nice folks!! I am waiting for my outdoor P.vulgaris to flower, the stalk is just formin now on one of them, I am REALLY hoping for seeds I only got them a few weeks ago and I am pretty crazy about them I got a BUNCH of pullings/cuttings off of Rick Hillier (it was a strange thing- he brought a couple of Pings all the way to my house to let ME rip them off, I just thought it was interesting, and the flowers were really nice to see for the first time with my own eyes, too) but so far have only seen about half of them rot- still, this is going back a few weeks so the ones that still look pretty much the same as the day I got them should end up making something

Hey Mabudon,
I'm pleased that the vulgaris' are happy and blooming, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the others.
I've had the larger moranensis for over ten years now. It blooms faithfully twice per year, but it's only divided itself once in all that time, and that was just last year.
To clarify things for others reading this, I wanted mabudon to take the cuttings/pullings off of the pings because I have hands of stone (anyone who has golfed with me can verify this). I would probably wind up breaking it in a place that would kill the whole plant!
I'm rooting a bunch of Nep alata cuttings too, so we'll make sure a few of them have your name on 'em.
Catch you later,
>>> Rick <<<
