Re: [APD] New Madagascar Lace Pics



They don't die back - they run out of food. It's a myth, just stick a plant tab
under their roots. I've seen them flower non stop for 6 months at least.

It only takes 6 months for the seeds to grow into half decent sized plants, too,
with leaves a couple of inches long (but not much of a bulb at this size).
