Reduced at Homebase...

[madaboutsnails]

Please help me identify this. I got it a few days ago from Homebase. It was very cramped, so I re-potted it. It was reduced for a quick sale because the pot was smashed. I though he was wonderful!


Thanks all

I'd second that, by the looks of it it needs more light the offsets look thin and stretched. I keep mine in direct sun for at least 7 hours a day in summer.

Thanks both. I had noticed that the new offsets were elongated too. It getting as much sun as I can give it, though in this weather, thats not much!

You just got it from indoors (?) in a warehouse with no windows. Etiolation is to be expected. Don't go mad and burn it. Although any offsets you lose will be replaced very quickly.

Here's a plant that I hope people would agree is grown well. This is just an offset that fell off my main plant a couple of years ago, they are completely manic.
