Nopalxochia recovery
Jul. 21st, 2014 01:37 pmThe plant is bouncing back nicely. All these leaves were shriveled and limp when I pulled it down from its perch and watered it. By the next morning, the soil was bone dry and the leaves were starting to fill out. A second watering yesterday has resulted in this great improvement. There are still leaves that are pitted and nasty, but I'll prune them out later.
(The nopalxochia is the one on the left. On the right is a collection of my hippeastrums, all grown from seed.)
Oh, and here are the Hippeastrum papilio, recovering nicely from the cure. The one on the left hasn't put out a new leaf yet, but I accidentally uncovered some surface roots in yesterday's drenching, so I'm pretty sure it has a root system of truly epic proportions. The one plant on the table that isn't H. papilio is the backup nopalxochia.
