Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

some updates ;

hmm...out of the 3 ibicella lutea germinated, 1 died..........2 others grown up to 4 leaves......the grown up, one has flowered, a YELLOW flower never saw it blooms actually......both growth looks stunted......:bored:

the other 5 seeds are goner.....:crying:

then the second batch of seed....

Proboscidea louisianica, and P. parviflora all still sleeping........:glare:

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

Does the seed really have the 'claw'? How does the adult plant looks like?

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

so far the flowered specimen also died on me........:confused:

please google for their seeds and appearance...i like the way they describe....."They are designed to snag onto animal feet and hold on until the poor beast dies and serves as fertilizer for the next generation of Devil's Claw....." sounds gross.......:1thumbup:

it is the seeds pods that gave the devil claw, it have something look like a cow horn and will tuck in to your flesh if you step on it, besides, the plant itself also very sticky and smelly, thats why until now it still in my fridge...

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

The flowering one also mati already? Mine is in ICU.

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

Kesiannya. How big did your flowering plant reach? I have 2, one died not so long after germinated and now another one is about 10cm high and looks dying. Sigh, its a difficult plant. Sekejap look happy sekejap look beh song. Dunno wat it wants. But I didn't notice its smelly. Yours did?

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

mine no smell at all but the slime/ dew is quite a lot...........the flowering specimen is about 3inch only....

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

Hmm, lots of dew, I presume its happy then but then it still... died. Funny.
How bout other keepers out there? How's your devil doing?

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

Are you keeping the plants wet? I know they grow in a lot of quite dry places. I haven't grown these plants as they are prohibited here due to weed threat. I would try keeping them just moist if you are not already. Cheers.

Re: guess what is this.....no prize ya...
 

thanks for the advice strath76.....they are long gone by now....:bored:

did not give them any special treament but one of them managed to flower (with about 6 leaves) but died soon after....

will give them a try if i can get them again......:shy:
