Xerophyta sprouting?

Dear Leo,

I looked through my archives to see if anyone has ever written about this
and found something from Will Ashburner (Australia) from 1998. It is not
species specific however.

He wrote: "They are rather spectacular. ...They are something that likes to
be dried off completely till they look dead and then watered, whence they
burst into abundant growth and flower. Hence the name resurrection
plant. It takes courage to dry a plant off to death."

Also a note from Rachel Saunders from about that time: " All are very showy
but quite difficult to grow."

Are you saying yours have remained dormant since you acquired it? Or have
you raised it from seed?
