Nemesia tends to lose its figure when a storm like the one we had the other day comes. The parent plant is shaggy, but the child plants are keeping their grassy appearance.
It may be hard to tell from the photo, but the flowers are fuller and larger on the child plants.
A possible factor is the silicate soil. The silica may be making the stems stronger. The larger petals may also be a result of the silica!

先日の嵐みたいなのがくると、草姿が崩れてしまいがちなネメシア。
親株は見事にボサボサなのですが、子株は草姿を保っています。
写真からは伝わりにくいかもしれませんが、子株の方が花もふっくらと大きいです。
考えられる要因は、珪酸塩白土。子株には用土の5-10%程度の珪酸塩白土を混ぜています。珪酸塩白土のケイサン分が効いて、茎が強くなっているのかもしれません。花が大きいのも、ケイサンが効いてるのかもしれないですね！
