I picked up these beauties in the mail ..
Dwarf Nino and SH-3640 next to a Namwah from forum member gmichal403
They were potted this morning in 37 degree weather..
Bare rooted corms were planted in root manageable 3 gallon landscape containers for the winter.
The planting medium is a premoistened pearlite/peat moss mix salted with mycorrhizae and rooting hormones.
This is a 60 degree difference from Hectors garden to mine.
Currently resting under 900 watts of flouresent love.
I told Hector they went from the frying pan to the freezer.
These plants will be interesting to manage in zone 5/6.
I do think the SH-3640 will be a beast....lets see.
This is a very late season grow for me.....so I am anxious to see a new leaf.....in December...
Thanks Hector for these precious plants.........I will grow them like I stole them..:)
Plants are currently resting in the Jungle.

I cannot wait to see what it does in variable conditions like mine.
It is great to have the real SH3640 and not the poser that was teased on the forum a few years back!!
Southwestern Ohio had a nasty windstorm and broke every leaf on the TaNee and they all had to come off,

Thanks,
Your Namwah has set some roots and is showing signs of life.
For me this is a late season grow with plants which are not established in a pot.
I like to grow in the summer instead of bringing the summer to them.
I can tell the will be beasts from everyones photos.
Now I cannot wait till spring:)

After 60 days these plants look EXACTLY like the day I got them in the mail on 10-20.
BUT down below in the soilless mix roots and a nino pup is developing.
I did have to trim the Nino a few inches because the stem was desicating and hindering the new leaf ...the leaf should emerge in a few weeks...January or Feb.
The Pstems have firmed up(stopped wobbling because of root structure) nicely in the containers and are transpiring moisture.
The Sh-3640 is even pushing a few grains of Hectors sugar white sand from the leaf sheaths.
I ought to do a contest as to when the first leaf will emerge on the 3640.....February March April May ???....

my sh-3640 also were slow in showing any signs of life for a couple of months, had to worry about them, they died back to the corm. but the corms remained firm and one is just starting to push out leaves.

90+ days into the grow and all is well.
In a few more weeks it will be 120 days
Some desiccation to the outer stem which should peel soon.
So far so good.

Hector,
Here is the little fella.
He is weened off the bottle and now eating solids.
The two items the container are terracotta watering spikes.
Cannot wait to put him in a big boy pot.:)
Yep....that white stuff is leftover snow.

Emergency surgery was required today.
After introducing a 50 watt grow mat( 8 days ago) from another group of health food plants the 3640 decided to try to push through 7 months of stubborn tight p-stem....
The surgeon cut a long posterior and anterior incision, with a robotic like incision and with a horizontal intersection of the infected tissue.
The surgeon then removed necrotic tissue and released pressure for the new growth.....
Thus releasing the Melendez Krakken.....
4 hours later.
Well, it made it..
The plant presented wet and very immature with great green color.
It seems there were two leaves wanting to see daylight.
And unfurled they did...fast....120 minutes.
I had thought the newly exposed growth would desiccate and do a die back to the pstem.
But..not yet.. the super new tissue hardened fast...
Currently the plant is sorting itself out..
I will post pics once the smoke clears.....
The 3640 is a beast .....
Thanks for following...

I found out these are called scale leaves.
They have hardened and transpire moisture just like a regular leaf.
Yet they are 1/4 inch wide.
I inserted a white sheet of paper stock (for the photo) to break up half the photo from visable light to a breakdown of visable light.
A few months from now the plant should sort itself out for sure...right.
Great experience so far.

Any pro suggestions.....East Coast?......West Coast?
Great experience so far.
Note the invisable RGB light ratio of the lighting.

The plant is a beast coming off overwintering.
Responds well to heat/sun and moisture as well as triple 19 general turf fertilizer.
The plant fills an 18 gal container vigorously with roots.
Maybe in a few grow cycles the plant will flower if conditions are right for the plant.
This plant will seem to adapt to northern greenhouse conditions and simple overwintering.
Seems robust.
This plant had an infestation of spider mitea which was brought under control with multiple sprayings...the plant responded well.
Great looking foiliage..and great growing container plant.
