Got this succulent about 1 year ago. after a few rounds of fertiliser & some neglect ( due to no blooms) , i chanced upon it`s huge flower bud & wa-laa, the same nite, it bloomed. Extremely fragrant. One time bloom from about midnite to 3 a.m. ( i dont know when it closes, i was told 3 - 6 a.m.) then it becomes a small dragonfruit-like errr fruit. tze bud  tze gorgeous one time flower   |

I see some gardens have their plants very upright & reddish tinge in full sun. I guess the leaves would be more rigid under hotter conditions. Mine looks flaccid in comparison ( still talking about bakawali here ).....i`ll plant one in hot sun laa to try out.

Huh? It became a fruit? Never happened before with my moms' one.... They usually dries off just like that...
