Hi there,

Question 1: I wonder why my agaphantus leaves seems to faint after some direct sun exposure.

I brought it form mexico as a seed (I never saw a flower) in september 2006. And I think it is not a perene as during winter older leafs turn yellow and fall (new ones remain), and during hot days (from Spring to Fall) is is common to see a new leaf growing quickly (1 week).

As it seem to like hot weather I use to bring it indoors during winter.

Question 2: Sometimes old lefs get a tracery patterss as if a tiny worm ran in side the tiny surface layer do you know hat could it be.

Winter: indoors. quick drying leaf from tip to base. leaf patterns close up,

pattern close up

Spring: direct sunlight makes leaves faint as if they got softer and heavier. thay return to normal after some hours without sun.

another angle.

Observations:

*Bamboo chopsticks prevent neigbour's cats to become closer and doing number one and and number two whild I'm distracted.

*I choosed this bucket because it is handy and if I travel I could always bring it with me.

*I use a high quality soil and since 2006 I completly renewed it two times (in hope to give it the best I know).

hank you for you time and knowledge share.
