Stylidium caespitosum

Well it certainly looks like these plants do in fact have long roots. They're not averse to sitting in water either.

The pot is a 3½" square long tom (5" deep).

While we're here we may as well post some photos of the carnivorous bits too.

The same plant at the end of May.

12" deep?

 

[Maiden]

no 12" wide. A pretty big pot.

Maybe i will have to make divisions, since i have 15+ plants in the clump. Maybe its the reason why i have so much roots under.

I cannot find a pot like your, not very wide but very deep.

Baby stylidiums before repotting

Nice plant and flowers !

S. debile and graminifolium also shoot long roots for me.

There is about to be the explosion of a flower froth.

 

[fredg]

A bit of "froth"

I thought I should post a photo of the S. caespitosum foliage as it is at this time of year. It's not quite as green as the above photos may lead you to believe.

 

[Cactusdan]

Oh wow, love that red foliage!

Does it transition back to green eventually?

 

[fredg]

Not fully back to the green Dan.

 

[fredg]

New growth of the green leaves/crowns.

 

[Swagalotus]

nice!

I have far too many pots of this now. The slugs and snails love the developing inflorescences too.

I love it! My S. debile doesn't seem to be a fifth as vigorous as my previous clone. Would love to grow more enigmatic australian plants, but not if theyre gonna be this whimpy...
