Hows your Pearl ??

Southern-Grower · 09-13-2005, 05:45 PM

suppose mine is coming right along..
it actually is starting to look real..LOL

i've only burnt one leaf so far..

checking to see if this one is slow or like everyone elses..

bananalover · 09-13-2005, 06:22 PM

Mine only has one new leaf so far. It does have those little burnt spots on the old leaves that it that it came with. I think mine may need a bit more sun but am afraid to try it, lol. I just transplanted mine this week so maybe it will grow a bit faster.

momoese · 09-13-2005, 06:24 PM

Mine has a small amount of new growth but It's only getting filtered sunlight so I suppose it will take some time. I don't really see anything special about the color yet.

Mine is on the verge of dying.
It never took off after I got it and has continued to wilt.

Good to see everyone else's are doing good

Southern-Grower · 09-14-2005, 09:17 AM

gees sorry to hear that..

so far i've killed 1 Mauritius and working on the second one..
actually i've killed all TC plants except this one..LOL
i just had a hard time getting the swing of the smaller plants..

what i did since the above episode was left the pearl in container it came in till i saw roots coming out the bottom. then i replanted it in 1 gal container.

momoese · 09-14-2005, 09:19 AM

I have left mine in it's original container also. I don't see any roots yet though.

bananalover · 09-14-2005, 09:33 AM

Mine was in the original pot until last week. I did not see many roots coming out but waited until it grew out that new leaf so that I knew it was growing alright after being shipped like that. So far so good but we'll see.

Try switching feeding/watering habits.Also look for insects, so I would change the place where it sits now, unless you have already planted it on the ground.The amount of sun would be an issue too.

Mine got another leaf almost immediately after transplanting. They are greener than the leaves they came with and less variegated even with the light variegation. I am hoping this will change as it gets older. It does seem healthy and growing well though.

Posted a picture of my Namwah Pearl on my gallery.It is a little "scorched" because of a recent cold-weather (60) three-days in a row.Doing fine again so far.

60 degrees did this much damage on the Namwah Pearl?

Where are you located Carlos?

Yep, that was ~57-60 degrees.
I'm located in Troy, MI.I think that explains everything.

We hit upper eighties today.The plant is doing great again.Over the next couple weeks I think it will be time to move them inside though.

Aren't those supposed to be verigated? Where did everyone get them from?
Thanks,

MusaRojo · 10-04-2005, 09:58 PM

Most of the regulars here bought them from an e-bay seller. However they are now available from Natural Selections, a nursery that I know to be first rate. If I decide to buy one, I will try here first because I have received healthy good sized plants that show minimal travel wear every time I have ordered from them.

rsieminski · 10-05-2005, 08:53 AM

Where can you get the verigated Namwah? Any ideas?

You can get it from the website posted before: Natural Selections, or buy it from e-bay, just do a search on "dwarf namwah pearl" and you will find some for sale,as I think the seller still had a couple of these plants left.

Ours don't seem to nearly have as much variegation as the one in the pictures at that site.
