For several years running, I've had my D. pauciflora die back to the
roots when it gets hot (80-90F) during the day. If the fleshy roots
haven't rotted, I get sprouts back in about 1-2 months time.
Have others seen this same behavior? Does this happen in their natural
habitat (Eric?)?
I suspect that South African CP just have trouble tolerating
temperatures so high, because my D. regia and D. natalensis also look
very stressed at the height of our summer.
