I’ve gotten enough L. meeboldi going invitro to start taking some out. This is right out of Stage 2. The plants had already started to develop small roots since the jar was over 8 weeks old, so instead of dividing it further, these two jars were ‘harvested’.

Sorry.
This is approx 25+ individual plants / crowns in the clumps shown above! I have 40 more jars of meeboldii like this.
About five years ago, I obtained this plant from Karen Randell. It was only being circulated amongst a handful of hobbyists and still, its not a common plant. I’ve been growing it successfully in my emersed setup for a year or so. It does seem to appreciate more light than Cryptocorynes, and I think that’s probably true for most species in the genus Lagenandra. The one I have is the pink version, characterized by the bright pink leaves it produces when grown fully submersed, which it does quite well.
This is the second time its thrown up a spathe. The last one died before it opened up – I think that was during a cold spell, and that’s probably why.
Anyway, onto the pictures!
