Saxifraga squarrosa Slo.: nasršeni kreč Dat.: Aug. 5. 2013 Lat.: 46.43865 Long.: 13.64407 Code: Bot_739/2013_IMG3883 Habitat: Stony alpine pasture, modestly south inclined mountain slope, growing on large calcareous boulders scattered around, full sun, wind swept terrain, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 1-3 deg C, elevation 1.975 m (6.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil in rock crevices of stony faces and large boulders. Place: Mt. Mangart flats, ~100 m north of Mangart alpine road when it passes Red rock region, Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC Comment: Saxifraga squarrosa is endemic to southeast Alps and one of the most beautiful, high-elevation, late-summer flowering plants in Julian Alps. It is quite a common species on Mangart flats. One can find it almost on every big enough calcareous boulder, which are abundantly laying at the foot of Mt.Mangart's west face. A single small and dense cushion can often have more than hundred relatively to the leaves quite large flowers. Sometimes, like miracle, a cushion apparently grows right from solid rock. Indeed, very small rock crevices suffice to this plant to thrive successfully under harsh high-mountain sun rays and on the most exposed and wind and rain swept places. A very similar close-relative, Saxifraga caesia, also grows in the same region and on similar places. It differs from S. squarrosa mostly in details of very tiny leaves and flower steam hairs. Reliably distinguishing between both species without a good hand magnifier is sometimes quite a challenge. Ref.: (1) M. A. Fischer, W. Adler, K.

My nanovivarium today after being in use for approx. 2 years. Some plants were added a year ago (Platystele umbellata, Pleurothallis grobyi, P. sonderana, Cyrtorchis crassifolia, Dendrobium cyanocentrum), and some this spring (Ceratochilus biglandulosus, Lepanthes calodictyon, Trisetella hoeijeri, Masdevallia wendlandiana and Diodonopsis erinacea). The pipe is sealed at the bottom with a glass lid using aquarium silicone. I fill the pipe with pure water (rain, RO) and no fertilizer is given (very rarely a weak organic fertilizer as foliar feed). Any salts will seal the pores of the pipe making it useless. A plastic hood is fitted over the pipe that has four 20W halogen spots (see other picture). My pipe is not porous enough which is why it is not totally covered with moss. I can only mount orchids were enough water seeps through. I plan to try a few other pipes within a few months and hopefully I will find one that is better. Fortunately my mother in law has a few pipes laying around on her property from previous drainage work.
