Tai yang cao

[clsh]

Hi,

saw this nice plant in c328 called tai yang cao.
bought it on impulse emersed.

after planted (submerged) for a few days, the top part of the plant turns reddish brown.
In the morning when lights are out, the leaves closed up..
At night when the lights are out, leaves opened up..

Is This normal?
have not read anything about tonina closing its leaves..

any my comments appreciated.
thanks.

I think you are referring to hong tai yang.


Is normal. Used to keep them. When the lights are out, they will slowly closed up. When they are under light for a while, they will open up.

This is a very smart plant. Must buy it some day. Is it expensive?
