I have recently brought a Peacock plant ,which has broad green and silver
stripy leaves about 18" high x 24 " across.I have put the pot into a broad
planter 10"with some water in the bottom to give a moist atmosphere under
the leaves,the actual pot is above the small amount of water,and the roots
do not touch the water level. Is this the right thing to do? it is in a
warm room 70C out of the direct sunlight,( when we get some)I have also
noticed that the plant tends to close up during the night and the leaves
open out during the day .why do plants do this, what is the evolutionary
reason for this behaviour..I hope that I haven't asked to many
questions.still I don't suppose you can get out in the garden today with all
this rain we are having, its blowing a gale down here on the south
coast...cas
