Phrag. Hanne Popow
(besseae 'Deutschland' x schlimii '#2')
.JPG)
Registered in 1991, Phrag. Hanne Popow was part of the first wave of hybrids from the luminous Phrag. besseae. Hanne Popow
is a vigorous grower that produces small but delightful flowers in varying shades of pink, white, and yellow. It is a
relatively compact plant as far as phrags go, but does tend to inherit the climbing habit of its schlimii parent, in
which the new growth sits a couple of inches above the old growth. Adding a wad of sphagnum moss at the base of the new
growth (and misting it daily) will help encourage new root growth, especially under the drier conditions of the windowsill.
