Growth habits of the siam ruby red??
 

For those of you who have purchased this variety, how well do they grow? I may run down to Stokes this weekend and pick one up.

Maury, They grow a little slower than an all green variety, and the leaves seem to be a little more fragile. Mine has been grown in full sun here in S.Fl. and seems to have adjusted to it pretty well. I say go for it,they sure are gorgeous to look at!

These grow pretty good in my opinion.
I only have one at the moment but it's pretty vigorous.

Mine is a little on the slow side, but that might be because the darn thing has made 6 pups.

Steve,
You picked it up at Stokes or somewhere else? They're not open on weekends and that makes it tough for me to get down there and hand pick a plant. BTW, the plumeria and musa's are doing well.

I got it from here, through Brian. But I've talked to Chantel and they have a good supply. If you make arrangements, they will sometime meet you on Saturday since they have to water the plants, etc.

Mine seems to be growing pretty fast for a young plant in a pot.. I had it in the ground but there was something about where it was it was unhappy with so I potted it up and it gets morning sun.. Seems to like it just fine.. the new pup has doubled in size still green.. Steve I'm so sorry for your slow growth.. and those Darn pups!!! LOLOLOL...GEEEZZZ!!!!

Thanks,

I spoke to her yesterday. I'll call her back and see what I can work out.

I'm going to take a picture of it. It seems I have most every variation
of the plant growing in one pot.
