Blue Chalk Plant

Post by caliloo »

Hey all!

My DS#2 picked this out at Lowe's last year off the clearance table (for $0.10) and it has taken off. When we got it in Oct, it was 1 stem with 6 - 8 "fingers". I had doubts it would last, but it has turned into this...

and is even trying to bloom....

It seems to grow sort of like a Burro's Tail, but a little more erect. Can you tell me anything more about this one? I seem to be doing okay with it, but I would love mroe info if you can provide it....

Thanks in advance!

You are doing better with yours than I did with mine. I think I did not give it enough sun. I picked mine up the same place you got yours and in the same sad condition.

Yours is beautiful thanks for posting.
