Re: Desert rose

Okay thank you. I’ve seen people train them. How soon can this be done? Also how do they get the roots on show do you just take the soil away every so often?

Desert rose

Planted this from seed a while ago maybe a year or two? What do I do about all the leaves at the caudex? Will these disappear and when will flowers arrive?

Thanks

Stapelia

Hello, was wondering if anyone has grown orbea variegata that could give me advice. I’ve got two grown from seed, few months ago but hasn’t grown since it sprouted.

Re: Dioscorea elephantipes

Could anyone tell me roughly how long before the caudex starts to show? Mine has now been growing a couple months with another leaf starting to come through already. Not sure what to expect.
