Incredible Mosaic Plant
Wednesday, May 26, 2010I was totally taken by surprise with this find... At a nursery that I patronise recently, I saw a pot of mosaic plants that looks really interesting. They have yellow flowers.
I wanted a small plant of it but the attendant said they do not have any and offered to give me a few stolons. Notice those stolons at the sides of the pot? He cut a few for me. He told me to just poke them into wet soil and the plant will grow. And it did :-)
Earlier, the stolons were lifeless and limp (almost cannot be held!) when I reached home (sorry, no photo). Overnight, the plant just sprung back to life. What an incredible plant!
So, the next time you are at a nursery and wanted to have this plant, you can try asking for a few stolons ;-D

This plant really looks like mosaic. Looks very fresh and juicy now. Its nice to have a plant that can spring back like magic :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the marvelous mosaic plant. I am so in love with those little diamond shaped leaves and long pink stems. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic, those 'stolons' reminds me of those I have in my stone garden. Yellow flowers you wrote, I think I can imagen the small beauties :)
ReplyDeleteCool. That was really nice of the nursery attendant.
ReplyDeleteA nice and unusual plant for sure!

ReplyDeletejust like any succulent, they are difficult to kill, hehe.
ReplyDeleteHi Steph. It looks more like a Sempervivum species. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...I passed this by last weekend because it was so expensive. Perhaps just a little cutting would have done the trick...
ReplyDeleteSuch a hardy plant!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is some find!! Very pretty too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI see why it's called "mosaic" with small, dainty squares.
And you did wonderful with it.
Yellow flowers, another benefit as it is beautiful enough.

ReplyDeleteIsn't this an aquatic plant?
