Othonna carnosa problems

[jay3]

Here is the photo used in the online sale image of the plant I bought. When I received it, it looked pretty much identical.



That said, it's now deceased.

Thanks Colin. I had just thought that Othonna cacalioides had been metamorphosed into a Crassothonna with the same specific name and I couldn't understand why it seemed so different to the other crassothonnas. Now I know better.

It is one of the most confusing acts of reclassification that I have ever encountered!

So getting back to the first problem in the thread, the plant that has lost its leaves should be evergreen and in the wild it probably gets some rain almost any time of the year.

Othonna carnosa(or whatever it be) My plant in flower today. It grows in the winter time for me. Up here in the north east its been dark and horrible for months, barely any sun so winter growers are not the best to have but I like it anyway. All my other Othonna plants are in flower but not looking at their best.
