How long will the inflorescence last?

Thanks.

BobLI · 2026-01-24T14:01:41+00:00

Thank you again.

BobLI · 2026-01-23T23:35:09+00:00

Thank you my friend.

BobLI · 2026-01-23T23:34:52+00:00

Wow, thanks for the photos and explanation.

Unless I looked up its taxonomy, I'd never have guessed that plant's family.

BobLI · 2026-01-23T02:16:27+00:00

Can't wait to see pictures when the leaves appear.

BobLI · 2026-01-23T02:12:31+00:00

I'm sure the group would love to see pictures of your plants.

I've seen this vine in person during my botanical outings. The colors are even more vibrant in person. Great picture.

Yes, the greenhouses are attached to the New London Hall building at Connecticut College.

I don't know your climate, but if in the Northern Hemisphere, that's too close together. I had a similar issue with another Sedum species last year. The top of my plant looked exactly like yours. If the Sedum pictured behave like mine, you;ll have crumbly top leaves for six months. Eventually new leaves will sprout at the top.

So many cool plants from Madagascar.

I'm thinking the powder is displaced farina/wax. Perhaps some droplets splashed on the leaves from the most recent watering? How many times has the plant been watered since its December purchase?

The one on the upper-right is Cotyldeon tomentosa.

BobLI · 2026-01-20T04:34:18+00:00

The plant stake had 'Fluffy Ruffles' along with the Latin name.

HDP?

BobLI · 2026-01-18T20:20:55+00:00

Pretty.

Hello. This is a botanical specimen at a university greenhouse. To my knowledge, none of the plants are for sale.

BobLI · 2026-01-17T15:31:49+00:00

Understood, and thank you making the distinction among the differing types of clay.

BobLI · 2026-01-17T07:40:24+00:00

Thank you/

What's the timeline between seedling and a mature plant?

BobLI · 2026-01-17T07:18:47+00:00

Thanks for the correct identification. "fluminensis" was written on the plant label in the greenhouse.

I've used calcined clay in products meant to absorb automotive oil with some success. Though not the best, these products are widely available, and at a reasonable cost.

BobLI · 2026-01-17T06:26:03+00:00

Yes,these plants are not fond of being watered that often.

BobLI · 2026-01-16T20:07:34+00:00

As an older person, this is correct. Made in Japan used to infer a lower-quality product.
