I am really happy to see that this Lotus Berthelotii has recovered after it nearly died during to lack of water. The walls that it is hanging next to face the south and the west which are the directions that most rain comes from here. We have had a couple of months of good rain so I thought that I didn't need to water the plants. However, this poor plant does not get the rain and nearly died.

A few weeks ago I noticed and brought it down to the ground in an area where it would get rain. I also trimmed it substantially. I planted the cuttings that were actually green. Many were dead. The cuttings have also taken. I will plant one in my mother's garden to replace one of hers which has died.

Now we have returned it to its wall, but today we made sure to give it a good water despite the rain we have had today.
