I grew this Chamby from seed about 3 years ago. The new red leaves weren't anything to write home about. They were more brown than red and were the same from day dot till the latest leaf which is rich red.

Has anyone else had this sudden change or is this normal for the standard Chamby.

By the way this was dug up about a year back and put in a pot for 6 months then planted. Growing conditions are basicaly the same.

Brod

Seems to be a change for the better Brod! I grew mine from seed a little over a year ago and they seem to be changing for the worse. They started off semi-red now Ive only seen pure green leaves. Might be because I'm growing them in more sun.

William,

Yes I am a Photoshop master, but in this case they came straight from the camera. Only resized to fit in the post.

Very cool!  That is something to look forward to!  I have a heap of these seedlings and they are all browny maroone...  Maybe some will brighten up as they age!  The reigns on your newly opening leaf also get a 10 for desirability!  Cool pics Brod!

usually they do get more red with age, but you also have to consider the fact that they open red to reflect the light so they don't burn while the new leaves adjust to the light conditions. A lot of plants open red for this reason. Maybe this leaf opened at a time when the photoperiod was greater and the light was more intense, as opposed to the leave opening in the winter when the sun is weaker and maybe for haze/fog =lower light=more brown leaf. Some of my chams open with green leaves no red whatsoever, others open with purple/red!
