The more I read about this cool looking plant the more I want one!!!

In it's natural habitat in South Africa it does nearly all of it's growing in the winter. Conditions are cool, wet and bright. They like full sun, and it seems that you have to dial in watering to get spirals : too dry and they won't curl, and too wet they also won't curl...

Hmmmmm..... I'll bet I'm watering it too much. Gonna leave where it is and back off on the water. Weird, mine was dormant through the winter then started up about a month ago. It is a cool plant... you can thank Roberta for this particular enablement. I'm just another victim.

PS Yes, good website Camille. Pretty positive now it's too much water. Ugh.
