Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii

In the pass year I have been looking for Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii.

I've been fortunate, I not only been able to get 1 but 4 different clones.

It seems to be a very hard to come by plant. It's slow to grow and doesn't offset a lot, so far.

It's one of those Cryptanthus that need more of a dry condition to grow with full sun unlike most  Cryptanthus that would like it moist and in the shade .  I have been growing like a Dyckia.

The 4 different clones are:

 

Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii

Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii

 

Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii green form looks a little bigger with the longer leafs.

I'm thinking it's just a little older.

 Cryptanthus leopoldo-horstii wide leaf clone

If there was no tags on them I wouldn't know one from the other.  

 

I haven't had them that long to get any offsets yet.
