UPDATE: Tell me it's not flowering already!  Is it true that d. indica dies after flowering and I have to start all over again from seeds (assuming the flower produce seeds)? Should I... a. Snip snip. b. Let it flower and collect the seeds c. Do nothing until the flower buds grow bigger then snip snip |

Lisham, it is true that D. indica dies after flowering.
a. asap, if you don't want seeds
b. yes, you should
c. nope, if you don't want seeds you should not allow the flower stalk to grow any longer or the plant will become weak.

Thanks Cindy. Is that really flower buds? But I just got it through post and repotted it less than a week before... How could this possible? |

D. indica flowers quite young from what I observed. Your plant actually looks pretty mature to me.

If it was mine Lisham, i`ll let it flower & collect the seeds.....Think of all the plantlets you`ll have very very soon ! Mine is about the same size. I got another which is a lil` smaller....

So.. it self-pollinates?
I checked my indica but it havent shown any symptoms to flower yet. So when it decides to flower, i think ill just let it and collect the seeds.

Lisham : do a close up pic of the spatulata babes plse...i have never noticed mine growing from the leaves....i have noticed plantlets around the mother plant but always assumed it was bcoz of seeds dropped from the other spatulatas` around it, never thinking it was via leaf.
