Got this plant for about a week or so. My plant was not well taken care of (did not get it from Xiao Yun and Brian, thats why+ they had ran out of stock if not I would have gotten it from them) and there were some parts of the clump which had sadly dried up, including a lot of leaves being brown and lifeless. But under my care the entire clump is looking better now, and there are some seedlings which have germinated due to my misting the clump, their little green selves peeking out from their seed. A very interesting clump of plants, and the blooms are fragrant, a major plus factor (to me) thats why I had to get it.
In addition I got a few bonus tiny little plants (I assume its mallemontii - as mine had flowered), the largest of which is about 1 1/2 cm or so. There are a few seedpods, one or 2, which survived the lack of care.
I place the mallemontii clump on my windowsill where they get morning sun, and I mist them twice a day, guess its not too good to get it soaked in water, as one of my bigger seedlings died due to rot when I did that (and I only soaked the clump for like an hour!), kinda ouch. So just remember if you guys have seedlings or small pups, try not to soak the plant for too long. That too happened to my ionatha in the UK, as the baby plant rotted and it spread to the mother plant.
For this clump, air circulation is a MUST, as with all clumps, especially after a soak!
