"...the plant was never near
dryness. It grew and grew, without
sign of rot."

From the
website of Jakob Baran:
"After frost danger had
passed, I moved it to full
sun. When spring came, the
plant, with three stems no
more than 10cm tall, went
into a 20cm pot. When the
weather warmed up a bit more
(nights 20c) I soaked the
plant and held my breath.
Well, not for long... within
two days the tips of the
stems showed bright green in
the cracks between the
tubercles and the plant
started growing. I had not
seen this before in the
almost 3 years I'd owned the
plant. Not wanting to push
my luck, I let it dry out to
avoid rot. When it dried out
the bright green went away
and the plant stopped
growing." |

"Over the
next few weeks, as the
temperatures rose to our
normal summer heat, I
shortened the watering
intervals until the plant
was never near dryness. It
grew and grew, without sign
of rot. I started
fertilizing and it grew
faster. Being in the full
sun it stayed nice and
tight. By the end of the
season it had over a dozen
stems."
