Hello All! Here's some updated current shots of one of my multi-crowned Roridula gorgonias in full flower. It most definitely enjoys the slightly cooler Fall temperatures and is being grown outside in full sun at this time. I hope everyone enjoys the pics! Happy Growing, Brian.

Hi Brian, really a beauty. How old is the plant? Till now i have never tried to grow this species becuse i donĀ“t have a greenhouse here, growing outside is not possible and i think to take the plant during winter inside my house will not be possible as well. Best regards, Dani

Thanks for the compliments Dani and Max. Dani, this species can take it pretty cold, but not below freezing. The biggest enemy of Roridula seems to be humidity over 70% and temps over 80F. They can be quite tricky....This plant is around two years old. My problem here in Florida is trying to get good, viable pollen. The anthers are browning before the flower even opens! I dissected an unopened flower and saw this yesterday and was quite amazed. Happy Growing, Brian.
