My new favorite!! Kerrii X meliflua

9 years ago

Hybrid between kerrii and meliflua (forgot its new name) Been on a waiting list for months. Just received it! I LOVE it!

the bottom one is pink or white dragon. The tags where not on them when received. Gotta wait for flowers :-/

This one also became one of my favorites! It has more than tripled in size since I got it a little over 1 year ago. Some of the leaves show heart shapes, but mainly the leaves are massive and super succulent. The massive leaves also have prominent splashes.

I can see the meliflua influence, but I can't see any likeness to kerrii. Have you seen photos of the flowers? It's a pretty one for sure...

The flowers look more like meliflua to me as well. Too bad it didn't pick up the heart shape of kerrii.

You have grown it well! Any peduncles yet?

No peduncles yet. But it is a hardy grower for sure. It grows in long spurts, produces lots of long and thick vines. When it stops the vine growing, the leaves come in and quickly grow like crazy.

Very much like meliflua... When I let my kerrii climb naturally and let it go where it wants, it grows peduncles. I'll try that with this one.
