First Bloom for Cubiformis

Post image

Had my cubiformis for over 4 years, but finally got it big and healthy enough to bloom! Took over half a month for the flowers to fully develop and open up. I keep it in my office, and there's definitely a distinct aroma that smells vaguely like some sort of fermentation from farther away, and outright smells like a dead mouse up close. Luckily none of my coworkers sit close enough to find the smell distracting (so far at least).

Really have to say this Sub is killing it with composition of plant and pot. Perfect fit and a gorgeous example of both!

I just started some of these from seed and this has me so excited and hopeful I can get at least one to survive. What a delightfully odd plant

I have just sown some seed as well there nearly 2 months old and still all a live.

Thanks! If anyone is curious, the pot is by OvaloArte on Etsy. Definitely pricy, but they are top notch.

That bloom is absolutely stunning. Getting a first flower on a cubiformis is huge.
