Encholirium horridum

This plant can be boring.

No flowers until it get immense.
Does not make any offsets or pups.
It just sits their getting bigger and bigger very slowly.

I need a bigger pot for this one.

I love the shape of this plant a nice ball. I have seen this plant growing in the ground and it's doesn't look this nice with its leavers on the ground. A hard to come by plant because it doesn't make pups of offsets you have to grow it from seed. Easy to grow and some what fast. With the leaves covering the pot you have to make sure it get water.
