AIZOACEAE Drosanthemum 'Fluorescent Rabbit Variegated'

Also Known As JA フルオレセントラビット錦 JA 斑入り蛍光兎

FLOWER
DETAIL

With their charmingly beaded leaves, Drosanthemum is showing signs of becoming a gardening craze in 2024. While the appeal of droplet-shaped, round little leaves has long drawn attention to Drosanthemum, this variety stands out for its adorably unique leaves—just as its name says, they're long and wavy like "rabbit ears." It has an atmosphere reminiscent of the classic "Obconica @ ." Plus, it's a variegated type, with a rich gradient from deep green to ivory (sometimes even striped). By the way, "Fluorescent" means "glow-in-the-dark" or "neon." It's a glowing little bunny!

FEATURES/ORIGINFeatures/Origin

When I first got it. It was limp and dried out.
Cut back and rehydrated for now, so it's regained some plumpness. As a variegated variety, the coloring is patchy—a fairly rare look.
Now well-rooted, it's putting out new growth.
Early May suddenly shot up stems and the plant's height tripled almost overnight. Among Drosanthemum, this Fluorescent Rabbit Variegated especially loves water—the leaves wilt after just a few dry days, much more so than other Drosanthemum.

Like all Drosanthemum, it "doesn't like to dry out." Especially if it looks like the plant in the first picture, letting it dry out is a definite no-no. If it hasn't grown roots yet, trim the base short and keep the pot standing in water. Mist the leaves every day with a spray bottle. Once it has rooted well and looks more like the third picture, it'll handle dryness better.

Saw this one at a garden center. Leaves are shorter and more deeply colored, probably just an environmental difference (I think).
A producer's image that makes the variegation really easy to see.
