Default My ''Ae Ae'' and ''Belle''!!!

Hello!

Yesterday,i was delighted to receive a parcel from Florida,it was an Ae Ae pup from Greenie!!!! Frank sent me an awesome and huge pup,the biggest i have ever received with a corm diameter of around 20cm!!!! I had also asked him for a ''Belle'' pup and he included one in the parcel as a gift! Thank you very much Frank for both!!!!!

I potted the Ae Ae in ericaceous,peat based soil with 1/3 sand mixed in for extra drainage and the Belle in slightly acidic cactus soil which already has some sand(also about 1/3)for better drainage.

Here is a photo of the Ae Ae just after potting it up! As you can see,it had pushed new growth while in transit and was crushing it to the side of the box. Looking at it today again,i think it grew some already since potting it up yesterday!


I will post a photo of the Belle once it grows its first leaf!


Looking forward to new growth!!!!
