Unusual DC

pmurphy · 07-03-2023, 01:34 PM

I wanted to share some photos of a DC that was given to me.

The plant never received proper care prior to me getting it but I did manage to bring it around. I got it this past spring and now its spending the summer outside, where it seems to like it. But now that its finally starting to grow its doing so in a most unusual way.

The pups and/or suckers its sending up are variegated white, green and red. It also has two crowns and looks intent on branching out.....

Sorry I couldn't remember how to rotate the images, they are correct on my computer

Have you fertilized it? Looks like it could be hungry.

I have and the new leaves from the plant are looking much better.
The plant came from a home in northern BC where it lived in a dark corner and never got outside so it was rather pale and very waterlogged when I got it. Now the new leaves are nice and green but the pups (which I thought would be a one-off) just keep coming up white and then slowly the red and then the green colors appears.
