# Nettie has had this little bud between her small forming leaf pair…

_Posted by Mikel’s Plant Posse on 2026-04-12_

Nettie has had this little bud between her small forming leaf pair for a few weeks now! I have heard Royal Flush split rocks can take a month from bud to bloom…is that what’s going on? Any ideas?

She came to me with a wilted bloom, that light brown bit next to the bud is what’s left of that.

Your split rock is cute as a button. So I wonder if it’s growing a new little plant or if it’s just a spent flower that will fall off.

Well, I sniped the wilted bloom that she came with, this little bud looking thing was behind that. The new leaf pair is there, but I’m talking about what has formed between those.

I know they have potential for multiple blooms per season…right?

Ha! I wouldn’t know.  
I don’t have good luck with these and that’s with giving them only a few waterings per year. I think the local high humidity air was a factor.

I think you’re committed to giving this plant its optimal conditions. I hope you post her next stages of growth 😊
