Carpobrotus edulis – UPDATE

A few months ago, when I discovered and introduced this plant into my crabitat, I was super excited and was looking forward to a nice looking habitat.

Unfortunately, the plant only lasted about a month before the leaves started turning brown and soggy. I believe the high humidity and constantly damp sand to be the culprits.

And so the search continues. I’m looking for a tropical plant that likes to stay wet but does not mind a nutrient-lacking sandy soil. I’m not even sure such a plant exists…
