David sent me some seeds of htis(thank you David  ) and I had one seedling come up after stratification, but no more since then. The little thing is growing rapidly in my greenhouse though, and is very dewy.  |

HI David, can I grow them under direct sun?
How big can a intermedia grow?

I have not personnally grown them under direct sun but I know some other growers like "Owl" grow hers under direct sun. She places the pot on a tray of water and the plant is very robust and healthy.
I have not grown mine to its actual potential yet, so can't tell you how big they will grow in our climate. But by other people's accounts, the leaves could grow to 10 cm long.

Of course you can grow them in full sun-thats what would happen in nature, and the sun makes them very sticky and robust, which is much better then in a shaded area. Its hard to say how big this variety will get-they seem to reach maturity(flowering size) within about a year but after that I dont know how big its gonna grow, you'l just have to wait and see... |

I've received some seeds from David, how do I germinate them? Any tips?

These will need stratification though-I did a pot without stratification and one without, and none germinated in the non stratified pot and only 1 seedlign came up(thats still getting bigger and bigger) in the stratified pot. So you may want to divide the seed up equally and try both methods like me and see what comes up. |

bifurcatum, is your plant a tropical one or is it temperate. I might be wrong but to my understanding there are tropical and temperate D. intermedias. If yours is temperate, then you should follow what cosmo suggest.
