A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Just 3 months in the glasshouse, this plant appears to be off easy care. Repotted once it showed very good root system. I found this plant very interesting. I could never identify it, the ususual direction in which the leaves grew, I have never come across any other as such, unfortunately the plant perish during the hurricane flood august 2011.
