| I've had poor luck with a few melos... a few have fallen to the dreaded orange rot. That said, this was some time ago so I think I will give them another go at some point. | |

| They say Melos are less hardy when they form the cephalium, that is, immature plants are may hardier... is this true, aajooo?
I got a nonamed mature one and I decided to go the safe way and avoid anywatering during the colder weather...
Do you think you could help id? I also have a much smaller one that is strangely pupping... | |
