Default Re: Namwah Pearl

I agree with everyone. So has anybody Namwah pearl survived to a decent size yet? I got two more last year and thought that they were gonna croak this winter. I've grown several Namwah varieties before and this specimen so far has been quite the slow grower and at times frustrating. I think this is mostly contributed to the fact that its a TC specimen rather than a pup. Combine that with the fact that its a slightly variegated specimen and we have a rather weak growing plant. However, one of the latest leaves seems to have tiny specks of dark green. This variety really does have some great potential but I may have to pamper these plants for another year or so before I could even consider planting it out.
