Hi Aaron,

Very nice. The only Werauhia I have had luck with is Werauhia sanguinolenta.

Not very hardy at all .. Really needs to grow under a big clump of Lipstick Palm .

:violin: Have heard back from many Brom collectors in NSW and Brisbane area .

Some have kept them growing well with perfect microclimate selection ,

and big wallets to source massive plants to start with :rolleyes:
