2XB Posted November 14, 2013 Hi all So I have noticed that some times a plant labelled as l.williamsii may be a dark green and glossy skin or a more army green and sorta velvety skin.... Is this a different plant or different grow conditions??? Ive noticed it with both clumping and singular forms ........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiscoStu Posted November 14, 2013 as far as i know only the flowers can really tell different lophs apart. l. williamsii has pink flowers, l. diffusa has yellowish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quixote Posted April 1, 2014 So, how to keep my loph bright emerald green? Which conditions should I give it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cimi Posted April 3, 2014 I think that lophs kept outdoors sometimes lose that nice, velvety fuzz and turn smooth and glossy, whereas those kept in greenhouses out of the elements retain the soft fluff. It's also temperature and moisture fluctuations. I find that my lophs are greener while in their active, growing phase such as after rain and in the warm months, but they go bluer in cold, dry, dormant conditions.

incognito Posted April 4, 2014 All of my lophs look very different and are all grown under the same growing conditions which I think is cool:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
