She is joking. The flower stem rarely grows that long in that particular
species.

I did notice that the plant posing as Haworthia fasciata on the Desert

the same thing under the correct name. That's why you can't tell them apart.

Just how long is the stem going to get?
Right now its just over 18cm And doesn't look like ist getting ready to

They can get really long, a meter or more, even from very small plants.

A METRE??!!!!

My window sill is only so big!

Unfortunately, without intense light, you can't count on them staying
either very red or tightly packed.
