exserta
review by Rachel Yee Date Added: 06 June, 2009
I've bought this plant online from US, it arrived quite safely even though many of the other plants didn't survive the trip. Must be the temprature difference, it arrived in January when US is still very cold, the condensation must have rotted them. This one is alright because it was not very leafy and had plenty of breathing space among the leaves. I was quite happy with it, it seemed to grow quite well. That is, until the grasshopper ate it!

All but one leaf was eaten, turning its nicely curving leaves into something like a regular short leaf, star shape plant. It was quite upsetting. But after nursing it a bit, it seem to perk up a little, although it would take a long time for the little leaves to grow into the nice cury shape again...

Quite a good plant, easy to take care. But watch out for grasshoppers!
