| Positive | fordford | On Jul 29, 2006, fordford from Mount Pleasant, SC wrote: I have this plant in my back yard. It gets some shade but lots of sun. I transplanted it from my parents in Florida and it took it about 2 years to establish and bloom. Last year I had 2 blooms this year 8 or 9 so far. | | Positive | Kameha | On Apr 25, 2005, Kameha from Kissimmee, FL (Zone 9b) wrote: Mine are planted along the house in part sun. I think the more shade the better they prefer. I pretty much neglect them and they grow beautifully. They can tolerate flooding and mine bloomed last fall. I never knew they could be used as a shampoo alternative but I'll be sure to try that when they bloom again! Thanks! | | Positive | foodiesleuth | On Jul 21, 2004, foodiesleuth from Honomu, HI (Zone 11) wrote: We have had a lot of success with this plant. The only thing is....plant it away from other things and where you don't mind it taking over as it will spread to a much larger patch than anticipated.
The locals taught us how to use it as an alternate shampoo cleanser. Cut the bulb part or bloom head off and sort of squish it on your head as you lather up. Leaves your hair clean, shinny and silky looking. |
