Sharing my adansonii. Very proud of this chap - his name is Curtains.

The first photo is from just over a year ago when I got him, and the second is from today. Some leaves lost - he’s had two periods of over-watering when I went travelling and my plant sitter (my lovely sister who waters and waters and waters) took care of him. But, good growth and new leaves all the time!

I mist 2-3 times per week, water more than I thought I would (but he is in a very chunky soil mix) and have him in a clear plastic pot so I can keep an eye for root rot.

That is stunning! Mine hates me and acts like a caleatha! (I guarantee I spelt that wrong I’m sorry)

Oh I’m sorry! I’m not sure why mine is behaving itself tbh. Maybe it’s just hardy.
