| Hello everyone,
I have a pycno, and I've been growing it for about 2 years now I guess. I transplanted it to a larger pot last year, and I was rewarded this year with its first bloom! After the bloom came that large majestic leaf, and I loved it. After a while, the leaflet was hanging off at an angle, and I decided to unpot it and take a look. THe leaf had actually rotated the bulb. SO I potted it up in a larger container once again. The leaflet died off, and now I don't know what to do. DO I continue to water it? or is it in hybernation until spring? Thanks, D. |

| Ok, perhaps this was too specific... More general: Since my Pycno has always had greenery growing from it and never has been what would constitute dormant, what do I do now? leave it dry until something emerges when it gets a bit warmer? D. |

| I have never grown this myself, but from the posts on this and other forums over the years, I think NorCal is too cool for it without a heat mat or aquarium heater to keep it going most of the year. I don't know if they will store dry, more heat would be your best bet. Keiko |

| Ok, it was a general question-when an Aroid loses it's leaves, do you stop watering until springtime bring up new growth? My Pycno is in my indoor terrarium, so the weather isn't a huge concern. D. |

| Hi dmarin I live in Singapore and have quite a few Pycnospathas growing for past few years. They do go dormant after flowering - even if the climate is tropical throughout - ease off some watering (but not completely dry) until growth resumes. Cheers. |
