alredor Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hey guys, 3 months ago I bought this P. Laueana and since then it has been producing smaller and smaller leaves. I have kept it in the window where it got plenty of sun most of the time and the soil has been kept moist with the tray method. Also I live in the netherlands, so spring is just around the corner. Could it be it just got too hot near my window? Minimum temperature is around 20 degrees C and if the sun hits it, temperatures can reach 25 to 30 degrees max. Is it going dormant to prepare for a dry period? Are these the 'succulent' leaves I've read about? Should I let it go dormant and gradually stop watering? Any advice would be appreciated!

Gaz Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 looks like the winter rosette to me, possibly with signs of new leaves starting to grow around the centre. Many of my pings are just starting to come out of dormancy too and I don't think you need to worry. I use the tray method to water too. I would water normally now. The first picture actually looks a bit odd to me, your plant is far far bigger, greener and lusher than mine, perhaps just a result of conditions before you got it. Did it come from a nursery in the Netherlands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it come from a nursery in the Netherlands? I doubt it's coming out of dormancy, since the these new smaller leaves only started about 1 or 2 months ago. Shouldn't that mean it's going into dormancy? It's not a temperate ping remember! Anyway I thought mine actually looked quite small when I first got it. I did get it from a nursery based in the Netherlands: araflora. How did you know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a wild guess, no disrespect to the Netherlands nurseries but experience from my other interest (cacti & succulent plants) in the past I've seen some, let's say, "very well-nourished" plants and your first picture reminded me of this a little. For me duration of dormancy varies considerably from plant to plant and mine are mostly coming out of dormancy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 It looks very normal and very healthy, pings are often slow to come out of dormancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischermans Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 It's in the winter rosette now and that is normal for this time of the year. Also a flower is coming out of the middle. So everything looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
