My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Anyone on this forum grow this plant? If yes, can you give me some tips for keeping it healthy? I'm in the Western NC (Smoky Mtns area), Southeastern US. This may not be a SA plant, may be Madagascan.
I have no advice, but just some observations. I grow this Madagascan plant in a greenhouse where it did little for me for several years while treated as a xeric succulent and watered infrequently. I saw a magnificent one at the Chicago Botanical Garden this year where it was grown in a similar fashion. For no good reason, I switched to daily watering, and it has taken off and is vining nicely, with tendrils, and looking good. The new leaves are not much thickened while the oldest ones are very thick.
I have had no flowers. Good luck with the plant, it is a very nice one. It is supposed to be easy to propagate from cuttings but I have not yet tried.Yale
Thanks, Yale. I have only had mine a few months. I had a similar experience in that I had it in a sunroom with only occasional watering and it was doing nothing. Recently I put it outside on a hot deck in mostly full sun and also began watering almost daily. Immediately it grew a new branch. Only thing is I think my full sun was a big much as I see what looks like a small burn on one of the leaves. I have since put a 40% shade cloth over it.
I appreciate your observations. It's good to hear what has worked for someone else.
