Thanks!
Sorry, I'll translate. I mean not worth keeping. I bought maybe 6 from a grower in germany (TC plants) and they've never really had the vigour or the colour of Red Flash or even regular Sikki. All this red flash,tiger,Manipur stuff is non-sense. Photo 1 and 2 of the recent ones I posted are regular Sikki. Its just the luck of the draw whether your plant has strong variegation or not and whether this will last as the plants grow up who knows (mind you last years plants are looking pretty sweet). The purple underleaf is wonderful.

No negative thoughts though please, the Dalai Llama is in the country and my karma needs a lot of work
