Ohhh I see Malaysia is a bit different from me When #4 was in flowering for me Sun time here at longest is about 15.75 hours buds where easy to see and nearly ready to open and did so with lesser sun light time and finished flowering 12 days later. Temps where in the 80 - 92 F range at the same sun times mentioned and the time of day mine opened was 16:00 hours to 23:00 hours For now I can say your heaviest rain season might be a bit much for #4 although the soil you have it in does look nice enough to drain fast enough. Again odd #4 Messeb like water more than most succulents but doesn't like wet roots for to long of time in days the top will rot out on you if to wet to long. Your other plants would certainly benefit with a lot less water than #4 can handle Other than a season rain over watering concern I have think you'll do very well with yours. As caution I think it would be best if you could provide a tarp or tent for some over head covering during your heavy tropical rain season over the entire garden bed. I and others here appreciate you and want to see your plants in there best of flowering later too. In all honesty it's best to tell you to talk to some of your local people with the same succulent garden passion as yours and ask them what they do.

it's looks to me like a S. Tri. hannii whch doesn't not like water in the winter, also I think new soil would benefit in the Spring. Now right now I would add some soil over the exposed roots, and take off any leaves that are ugly. Add a small gravel top dressing. So far the plant has not rotted so I think you must be doing a good job. Water from the bottom only, but don't let the pot stand in the water. I dont know where you live, so is it kept warm by gas heater, I'm going back up and look at the pictures again, I had difficulty seeing the picture large enough for me to be sure. It's not a water problem, it a soil problem, and it will need reg. waterings in the hot months May-Oct 1 New soil will give it a jump start, looks all soil has been used up. It's very difficult trying to tell you what to do when I don't have aa clear picture of it's growing conditions. I just trying to be accurate, and give you some information to go on. When you start to water, water thoroughly and consistantly. Fertilize with osomocate, so you wont' over do it. Use Epi soil which is fast drining . Stay away from Peat Moss, it doesn't matter where you live. Keep the plant warm about 60-79 year round with little flutations. If I didn't write clearly enough, please ask questions. The pot should be about 6" depending on the size of the plant. (the root mass) it loves to be crowded. I hope this may be of some help, there is moe than one way to do this. Norma

Just went out and smelled a plantaginea flower. Might have to cut this scape and bring it inside. I planted this right outside my bedroom window, but it's still too hot to open up the house. Guess I didn't think that one through... It does make me glad that plantaginea is such a good grower! I've got propagation on the brain.

Bella Donna looks spot-on. Mine has flat-topped buds, which Bella Donna has, and it does not have the strongly pleated petals that Petite Lisette has (there's a central fold in her petals that mine does not have so obviously). Petite Lisette (in pictures) is more strongly button-ed than my rose and has slightly pointier leaves, whereas the pictures of Bella Donna are not so buttoned and show more rounded foliage. Also, Bella Donna has a long bloom period (mine started first week of June, continues through today) and is "common" in PA... which helps because I'm in a "greater rednecklandia" section of Pennsylvania where folks would not have access to rare or unusual things. Size of plant matches up, size of bloom matches up, length of bloom matches up... yeah, I'll call this one good. Bella Donna it is. Thanks, everyone, for the help!
