Welwitschia

I've grown this plant in the past and found it remarkable easy to grow
in a mix of small pumice pebbles. Nothing else. The tad root will
also adjust to the pot its it. It had a bad rep in the past, but that
seems undiserved.
Guess I should introduce myself. I've been lurking for a short while.
Last year a friend gave me some Zephyranthes and I've been interested
ever sense. Although I found I've been grown other bulbs for a number
of years, including Massonia and other succulents, also a few tuberous
Drosera (carnivorous plants). I've been growing various plants for
over 40 years and right now I'm interested in getting other species of
Zephryanthes, some Oxalis (don't grow any yet), and whatever strikes my
fancy.
Best,
Chuck
