The p...

Re: How to deal effectively and ecologically with fungus gnat?

I would always advise that succulents are grown in a highly inorganic compost, basically 50/% compost %0% grit. With this sort of mixture(including for seeds) I have not had any problem with these pesky flies.

Re: Sedum multiceps advice please

Thank you for a very informative amount of information. I have been puzzling how to get the best out of my plant and killed one in the process. I have another, which thankfully I should be able to care for better, now.

Re: North West Cactus Mart 2019

I agree Pachyphytum compactum. If in doubt check out the International Crassulaceae Network. It is the best source of identification of Crassulaceae that I know. It can be slow to navigate but makes up for it by more information http://www.crassulaceae.ch/.
