Hello,
Does anyone out there have much experience with cyrtanthus spiralis? I have had mine for a few years now and it doesn’t ever seem to grow much and has never flowered. I have been treating it as a summer grower and giving it the same conditions as my other succulents, but should I try it as a winter grower with my lachenalias etc? I would be most grateful for any tips; it is a nice plant but doesn’t do very much!
Many thanks, James.

Hi James ,

please look here :
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2124.0

I know many people have problems with this plants but for me it is easy ...I make nothing special ....and it flowers regular since two years.

Before some days I have seen that now start a offset  :D

Hi all, I am sorry  I had no time to take the picture before the flowers faded. Here is Cyrtanthus Buttercup, an hybrid C. mackenii var. cooperi x C. attenuatus. It is strongly scented!

Hans J, that's quite a difference, maybe you will get some sun tomorrow that will keep your cyrtanthus happy, enjoyed your previous pictures of cyrtanthus. I liked your  C.spiralis you would think someone took curling tonges to it 8) Keep posting your lovely plants.
