They remind me of our Starfish Plant or Earth Star (Cryptanthus bivittatus).Jacquelinehttp://www.jaycjayc.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-21879813146055429282011-06-02T10:39:05.889+08:002011-06-02T10:39:05.889+08:00J.C. - I not expecting any fruits to appear on the...J.C. - I not expecting any fruits to appear on these. Its about 6 months and they remained as it is.<br /><br />Malay-Kadazan girl - They do well in shade in my garden, so I guess they can manage that.<br /><br />P3Chandran - yeah, nice isn't it.<br /><br />Stephanie - That will really be a New Year!!<br />seeing fruits on them. hehehehe...<br /><br />Autumn Belle - I had misnamed it until a blogger mentioned it to me, I thought it was agave. Glad you manage to get the Ylang-ylang, it is truly magical!<br /><br />Malar - very hardy, even the snails can't bite them...hahahaha!!!<br /><br />Ananadhirajan - A well drain soil or a balance mix also will do. They cannot stand on water or they will rot. They can do well in semi shade with less watering, Full sun but daily watering - See, if they turn burned or yellow, chances are they are not able to take the heat.<br /><br />Dykia look so much like Agave, Aloe or Hen & chicken. The difference is that this one is very hardy compared to the rest. They can take the abuse. I had not feed them nor watered them (they get watered by the occassional rain)<br />And I do not want them to overgrow the pot - just like the way it is, a very bonsai asthetic look.<br /><br />Thank you for your lovely comments. Appreciate it very much!James Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01423981835876393119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901937196017931930.post-44744009471821957452011-05-27T20:30:59.584+08:002011-05-27T20:30:59.584+08:00Dyckia it is a new plant info for me.
