Got three new additions for my collection.
Baby Adelae (paid the plant price (1USD) with shipping, extra 1 plant).
Baby Capilaris longleaf (bonus from fili).
Baby Filiformis (pay shipping only).
Yay. *swooooon*

I never know that Filis was a really tough plant. It was still standing straight even after shipping.
Adelae was a little bit tired.
Capilaris was like smooth breeze (just missing dews).

Nice,is there any specific reason you use transparent plastic containers?
I used once and it cooked my D.spatulata when kept in direct noon sun.
I would recommend to spray a layer of paint or buy new pots :)

Oh my glob. So scary.......
This ones was only temporary cup. I don't have any cups in my gradnma's house at that moment.

But in my house, I cannot find any dark cup too.
:(
Will it be OK if I paint the cup with acrylic paint? At least the topside that doesnt get watered....

You should only worry if they are kept in afternoon sun.
Yes any paint should work.Even though I recommend buying new large pot so plants will be able to grow long roots.

Was the worry for cooking the plant or for the occasional new growth?
As my house direction was 'weird', I can only gave 10-6 sun light.
But as I was sunbreaking them now, its from 2-6 light..

My filiformis sails smoothly.
Sun it from 2-6 pm, high water level, and one of the old stressed leaf already produced small dews.

Capilaris (same conditioning with filiformis) was still adjusting but no big deal.

Adelae was stressed out and looked tired. :(
I moved it after a day and reduced the water level. I hope it will get better soon.
