The 2/3 L bucket, received as a replacement for the first one, free of charge, is in the same condition as the first one: a nearly non-existent young plant, without visible rootstock or roots, and without any vegetation, which is not normal considering the flowering cycle of this plant (autumn flowering). In comparison, the buckets of red coccinea major lilies are much better developed with beautiful roots, it's very surprising...
