This Gobenia was going around as tropaeolifolia for many years, but recently the ID of hitchcockii was been suggested as a better match.  Gobenias rarely flower in cultivation, so it will likely be a looong time before that ID can be confirmed.  Whatever it is, it is easy *for a Gobenia* which is to say, expect it to die off just when you think it’s around to stay for good this time.  If you are not familiar with Gobenias, please read up on them.  They can be finicky!

This particular species I’ve been growing in temps 55 (winter night time) to 85 (summer daytime) with regular weak fertilizer and low light (about 60 ppfd).  I grow it on sphagnum that is kept evenly moist but on the dry side of moist (if you squeeze the moss, not much water drips out).  As a trailing species, this one does not take well to staying in pots so is sold as cutting. When you receive it, lay on a bed of moist sphagnum but do not bury the roots.  Like many Gobenias, once established, it grows fairly quickly.

The cuttings available are a minimum of 12″.
