There are whole new culms (is that the correct term in thise case?) that are now several feet tall and starting to sprout branchlets.<br /><br />Oh, and I transplanted my three r. capensis today. They were even more root bound than yours, with a root mass so dense I couldn't cut it and white roots growing out the bottom of the pot. But I've read that rhodocoma actually likes having a really dense rhizome, so what might normally be disastrous for another plant may actually be a good thing in this case.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723879419737384746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-68641918006359288592011-05-23T22:14:29.559-07:002011-05-23T22:14:29.559-07:00David, I'm be curious to see if my Rhodocoma c...David, I'm be curious to see if my Rhodocoma capensis will change color too. It's still too early to tell. <br /><br />Has your Rhodocoma put on any growth? As you can see from the photos, my two trimmed were to fit the box so I'm hoping there'll be new growth soon. However, since they were so root-bound and I cut off the bottom part of the root ball, I expect them to put their energy into forming new roots first.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-61971873284750742872011-05-23T21:30:32.491-07:002011-05-23T21:30:32.491-07:00One thing I've discovered about Rhodocoma cape...One thing I've discovered about Rhodocoma capensis that didn't appear in my readings is how it reacts to intense direct sun. I've found that in direct Southern exposure, some of the foliage of R. capensis wittll turn a sort of rusty burnt orange color. It doesn't seem to hurt the plant, and I find it actually to be attractive looking, but it was something I hadn't read about. Oh, and thanks for the plug!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723879419737384746noreply@blogger.com
