Interesting dvg, did the other plant show the same leaf development? Will be watching for updates for sure!

Hi Drew, this is the same plant as the one that was shown in previous posts in this thread.
It has changed its growth pattern from rosetted growth to cristate growth.

Oh, okay. It's kind of hard to compare these two because the PsMdA has just begun growing in a cristate fashion and the jaumavensis was sent to me already in full cristata mode. Like you said, it will be interesting to follow this one's development over the next few months. dvg

Okay, was having some problems getting these up, but i think it was worth it. It looks like this mexi-ping has decided to change things up and recently started to part its hair down the middle. A month ago it had two growth points and appeared that it was getting ready to divide. The two growth points didn't divide as may be expected, but instead, new points continue to be produced in an advancing line across this plant's crown. It seems this plant has departed from growing in typical rosetted fashion and taken on an emerging cristate pattern of growth. Will have to keep this plant well fed and further observe how this cristate growth continues to march forth. *Meanwhile, the eager and ever loyal lab assistant, Igor, feverishly grinds out another nutritious bloodworm meal for the waiting troops.*dvg

A small update here. From April 1st, not much change, but the key here is that the plant has been fed some powdered blood worms. And this pic from April 8. dvg

There seems to be a pattern emerging here Even with this many leaves being generated, the plant still manages to keep up an efficient system of organized chaos. dvg

Hi DVG - Do you have another fasciated ping developing?! I wonder if you had some Rhodococcus fascians in your collection? It's a bacteria that has been shown to induce fasciation in some plants. It's by no means the only cause of fasciation, but it can be spread, and thus induce this growth form in nearby plants. Probably no way to know easily. The only thing to do is sit back and enjoy the results.

The only thing to do is sit back and enjoy the results. Not that i'm aware of, but i didn't expect this one to start doing this either - i thought this current fasciation might have been caused by mites. But then i couldn't find any mites on this plant - this phenomenon isn't understood very well...why plants go into and out of fasciated growth is oftentimes a mystery. dvg
