Growing habits of the Moon Banquet

The Queen of the Cliff is native to Brazil. It is robust in nature, easy to manage, and easy to keep alive.

Spring and autumn are its peak growing periods; it blooms in April and May, and begins dormancy after December.

It can tolerate low temperatures of 5°C. A full dormancy is beneficial for flowering the following spring. It is propagated by seed.

The seeds have a relatively short lifespan, so they should be sown immediately after harvest, sown on a mixed medium of high-temperature sterilized leaf mold and sand.

They germinate in 1-2 weeks at around 20°C. After germination, keep the medium moist, and transplant when there are 5-6 true leaves.

Cuttings are not prone to growing corms.
