My frydek has put out two beautiful leaves recently — enjoying them while they last! 🤍

If she's producing corms - I'll buy one!

She hasn’t yet, but I’ll keep watch! ☺️

The variegation on this is stunning!! Any growing tips you mind sharing?

I am using Sydney Plant Guy’s method — he has a lot of videos about his stunning frydek on his YouTube! It’s a glass vase with leca at the bottom and sphagnum moss as my potting medium. My plant lost all of its leaves from shock when I switched it to this semi-hydro method - the new growth ever since has been beautiful!

This is a better view of my setup :)  
(I would not recommend a container that slopes in at the top like this unless you’re okay with smashing the container to get the plant out if you ever need to repot)

Lastly, I keep mine in an IKEA greenhouse cabinet that has barrina grow lights on for about 12-14 hours per day!
