Chris Larson ... "A few people have noticed T. andreana on eBay. This one is a little ball of leaves much rounder than the ones I’ve seen previously.
The plants are around 8 to 10 cm across and form a ball.
The red leaves, which blush at flowering time, can sometimes be darker than this photo shows.
The T. andreana I had from Holm was very much like John’s photo on this page."
Steve Molnar 03/18 Not one of the easiest tills to keep happy, but when it does it's thing it's a beauty.
Chris Larson 05/18 Colour variations
Chris Larson ... "While I have noticed the colour changes with temp, humidity, etc at times, it is not the case here. These plants were grown side by side under controlled conditions."
