Howdy folks,
You didn't think I'd go away, did you? :)
So I'm still having trouble with d.capensis. I don't know why,
considering how well everythig else is growing, but I am. I have
several that are growing just fine, and two that aren't.
One of those seems fine except for one problem - every time a new leaf
uncurls, it opens 2/3rds of the way, and then stops. the last third
turns brown and dries up. Every single leaf now looks like this, but it
continues to put out new leaves regularly.
The other is a wide-leaved capensis, my only one. (I have LOTS of
regular ones, imagine that..) I think I've lost it. Even after
repotting, (2 or three weeks ago now) it hasn't even tried to put out
any new leaves, and all of the leaves it has are going yellow and dying.
'elp!
On a lighter note, does anyone have any s.purpurea seed? I have one
plant, and may wait for seed naturally in a year or so, but I was just
wondering if anyone had a half-dozen seeds they were willing to part
with. I'm trying to help my brother set up a terrarium, and my
s.purpurea is growing so well I think he should have one.
Also on the good side - If anyone recalls my posts earlier about growing
sphagnum, I've gone from a couple of tiny sprigs to a healthy and
growing potful. I just have to keep plucking the d.capensis sprouts
from it. (Where in the heck did THOSE come from? :)
