And here it is!

And while I am at it, here is a picture of Maya who recently flowered. It was not pollinated and so the flower started dying. And one day, when trying to see if there might not perhaps be a pollinated flower that went to seed, the whole infloresense came out. And from the next day I saw the plant is not holding any water in its cup, so I filled it. Just to be empty again about half hour later. By closer inspection, it looks like the plant has been 'screwed'! And I promise I was not near it with a screwdriver! It is still holding water in the outer leaves though. But as yet, there are no signs of any pups. The inside leaves are also still firmly attatched to the plant. Could this be some sort of crown rot?

Once the infloresence is gone..its best to not put water in the cup..I dont water the cups as soon as the center turns brown..and if they have been screwed...no water..it will rot the plant

Hope they got kissed first hdd! LOL

Sorry could not pass that one up!

Maybe your plant is self-screwing, Japie! Okay, I won't go there...... ;-)

I don't know what caused it to do that but it doesn't sound good. If the cup got damaged it's actually better that it is draining out and not holding water, but I've never known them to do that on their own. What occasionally happens is that the center gets damaged and water sitting in the cup will then cause it to rot out, and all of a sudden the inner rosette of leaves will pull right out. I've never seen a hole go all the way through unless I put it there, though.

I don't withhold water in the cups whether it's bloomed or not, and I don't bother to remove the inflorescence until it turns into such mush that it comes out when you water it. My plants are not covered, so they have to be able to take the rain whether they've been screwed or not. If you do screw them, you just have to be careful to keep checking the holes to make sure they are draining properly, otherwise you can lose them.

Your Ae. aculeatosepala looks a bit stressed to me. Maybe the cold. I haven't followed up on clearing up the confusion with the names yet.

If my Ae aculeatosepala is stressed, then I am going to see to it that it is never 'un-stressed'! I like the appearance of the plant as it is now. But looking at the general condition of the plant, I would say that it is happy. Below is a picture of how it lokked when I got it. Since then, it turned a nice healthy looking green (I never fed it and it was mounted immediately) But it was in a darker spot. Now it receives a bit of weak, winter, afternoon sun. And the texture of the leaves is also much better than what it was. And there is actualy another pup starting to form - just a little knob stil at this stage. The first one (still just stolon) is about 2cm long allready.
