Of the 4 bulk trades that I did, I received a number of heuff's from 2 of them, which includes yours. The other trade heuff's haven't fared very well. It looks like I have lost at least two of them (to rot). Others are single rosette's that are blooming and typically the rosette that blooms will die. I'm hoping that some may generate another rosette from the root alone, but I've not experimented with this to see if it will happen when the plant/rosette is small and single. One interesting situation is a two rosette start with one rosette that rotted and the other that is flowering.
The ones you sent me are doing fine, but it has been a tough summer for my heuffelii. Too much rain followed immediately by too much heat. I was concerned I was going to lose all of my Mars as several rotted on me. I'm watching them very closely. I think the weather is the principle cause of the problems with the new heuff's. Surprisingly, my Xanthoheuff which had a reputation for easy rotting, is doing well. However, it has decided to bloom as well.
So its a little too hard for me to tell at this point how they will do. I usually like to wait until the following season for new plants to tell how they will do here. I received some very, very nice plants in all of the trades, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and giving all due care. I really want to see what they will look like growing here when they size up.
With all the heuff's blooming, I am looking forward to collecting some seed this year and starting it indoors over the winter.
