Honolulu (upper Mānoa), HI (Zone 11) | March 2005 | neutral
I have had this plant for 9 months now. I had it in light shade for the fisrt 4 months. Once I moved it to full sun, the long somewhat ...Read Moresquishy leaves gave way to shorter more turgid ones. (Approx. 2cm long)
It is flowering now with three spikes at about 10 cm tall. The flowers are currently opening in succession with about 3 at a time per inflorescence. They are medium yellow and about 1 cm wide.
I would take a picture of the plant but i think the mix is taying too dry ( I kept the organic component to a minimum when mixing. Perhaps I need more moisture retention or just need to water more often). I will take a picture of the flowers closeup soon.
