Natale Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Hi at all, a few years ago, I sowed some seeds of sarracenia obtained from crosses of my old plants. In the midst of these seedlings, this strange plant has grown and I transplanted it to the sfagnera last year. It is a very strange plant, with a hard consistency and in the upper parter this year it is giving birth to something. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

Natale Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 I'm sure it's not a succulent plant or something like that because it was born and currently lives with the conditions of a sarracenia, now in the sfagnera with high water levels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 A succulent will grow under those conditions for a while. It certainly looks like a succulent to me, and apart from the colour E. obesa does have a vaguely similar habit as a seedling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coconut seedlings you can buy in shops with the coconut still attached, for example, get a lot of energy out of their massive seed, so they'll grow for (quite) some time, but as soon as they're out of resources, they'll quickly give up the ghost. By and large, succulents are actually surprisingly resilient against being flooded (in fact, many even appreciate it every once in a while), it's only when their roots start to rot that they'll protest.

Natale Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 When it grows up we will have clearer ideas, I will update later with new photos making macros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
