Is that Medusa (AKA spineless Meyendorffii)?

That thing drives me nuts!

No its a Groves hybrid and out of 10 plants, 2 have done this. This one has a pup that appears to be doing the same thing. And I hope Medusa isnt going to do this too altho I could see Medusa being a candidate for it

Which hybrid? It looks spineless in the picture. Is that normal for this plant?

All my Medusas get really tight and tall and tubular. Not "quilling", exactly, but almost as bad. If I fertilize more they stay more open, but then they're all green. I just can't seem to get it right on that one. It makes a jillion pups, though.

BTW, Ray told me he'd made a variegated version of it. Do you have that one?

Nope its not normal ..its cranberry freaked out(spineless, tall, quilled, neo on drugs and I didnt give them to the plant)..I have Medusa and it has so far done very well medsize neo, nice conformation and color. Ray and Chester both have done varigated. I have several marginated and variegated spineless neo's

Well, you know if you can maintain a spineless 'Cranberry' you can give it a new cv. name, although if you can't get it to act right you might not want to. ;-)

It wont get registered just an affectionate nic name..its a cull even if the pup is spineless

he doesn't like it tho

Who doesn't-- Ray? Why not? Looks pretty good to me. Does it have a name?

No name ... leaves were not wide enough to suit him ..I know I like the plant too but its not my creation
