I lost my first one rather unexpectedly. Here is my new plant from FL colors. It has a bloom and it has a ton of new leaves.
Good morning, Scott Pratt #2
Scott Pratt is lovely
Congratulations Vossner!
Congrats the SP is a heavy bloomer and she grows wide at least my 3 do,so plan on giving her space....
She has the deepest reds around..
For a red she doesnt seem to be affected by the rust too much or when she does show the rust it's around late fall...
The leaves will be slim and pointy and she will have the darkest green colored leaves then most plumies have..
Yay, Nery! Please post the minute it blooms! LOL!
Vossner, Lopaka makes a point that I have wanted to bring up since seeing your picture.
I am having a small doubt that you have Scott Pratt here. The leaves on SP are very bronze colored and emerge a deep red initially. Also the stem tends to be a dark brown color.
I wonder if there was a switch; I am a great fan of Florida Colors and would never imply that they deliberately sent you a wrong plant - but mistakes are sometimes made. I hope I'm wrong and would be interested to see pictures of it when the new leaves are fully formed; there really is no mistaking Scott Pratt!
Nice you have an inflo already starting!!
I agree it is a heavy bloomer and a very wide grower. I have just trimmed mine because it was interfering with some of its neighbors. Unfortunately mine does get rust though :-(
Hmmm. Hetty does have a good point. The baby leaves of Scott Pratt are supposed to be a dark purple. I'll take a picture of mine and post it soon.
That is also what both of mine look like
I also rooted them heh,.....
oh wow, thanks for your comments, everybody. I will keep a very, very close watch. I'm sure Carol will make good if this is the wrong one.
Dutchlady, mine definitely does not look like yours.
malestrom, I thought SP was supposed to be hard to root. good for you!
Notoriously difficult
I was shocked!!
I am glad somebody got my hint hehe..
:)
Well, I just checked mine, and my new leaves look exactly like Nery's; however, new leaves were dark purple like Hetty's when the cutting was rooting in the spring so I wonder if the pigment can vary somewhat due to the season and/or environmental conditions? Anyway, Florida Colors does make mistakes occasionally, but I would give them the benefit of the doubt until you see the blooms;-) Then we can compare them to other Scott Pratt blooms and see.
