OK, Andrew ... related question for ya <smile>:
Oh, and thanks for answering Mark's question, by the way .. I've got D.
auriculata doing the same thing .... and I've left them all dry (will have to
go home and water them tonight ... poor things).
Anyway, I grow my D. auriculata in a community pot with D. ramellosa and D.
whittakeri. Wondering if I need to remove the D. ramellosa (will wet
conditions the dormant tuber). Also having similar (to the D. auriculata)
issues with my D. whittakeri. The plant went dormant, but then almost
immediately sent up two additional rosettes. They are also sitting in the
same pot, under the same (dry) conditions.
What should I do?
(careful, Andrew .. if you're too helpful I'll start pestering you with all
sorts of D. cistiflora questions <smile>)
