Medinilla J'adore Tresor

 

 

It took Atlantis nursery 14 years to create this new Medinilla, this is the first of the Medinilla
J'adores that is on the market, there are more varieties to come.
I like Medinilla's , they have beautiful flowers, but never bought one before because I didn't
like the leaves that much, they are a bit to rigid for my taste.
This new variety looks totally different.

It likes light, but no direct sunlight, it likes to get dry between the waterings, and it only
need moderate water, ( I hope moderate is the correct word in English, I mean a bit of water).
The flowers last for 6 weeks and it is possible to get new flowers- according to the nursery.
No fertiliser during the first flowering period.
And than, the temperature it likes, is between 18 and 23 degrees.
Reason for me to waite if he is gonna make it through the winter, because the temperature at night
is only 15 degrees in the house.
Maybe a couple of cats can keep it warm than, Angel seems to like it:-)

I did try to make a picture of the flower, it is not my best macro ever made, but I hope it
works,
