Re: Growing dioscorea elephantipes from seed
When I have grown these from seed, the germination has been erratic so don't throw the pot away IF you get no or low germination, even my own home produced seed had germination over several months and one seedling a year later. Even some years later they might still germinate, I know from experience.

Re: Germination begins

All mesembs (and bulbs) are okay to sow right after the last (severe) night frosts have passed, when sowing in a greenhouse without additional light and frost protection. For me this means sowing around 20-25 March. Nights are cold, an occasionaly -...

Re: Germination begins
I have the same idea. That is why it annoys me why a lot of succulent photos are primarly aimed at getting a flowering in the picture and nothing or hardly anything about the plant body. I am not interested in plant porn close ups.

Re: Germination begins
Yes you are not wrong. That's what it says on the site. But I have an email conversation .... What did that say? I asked them a question if they felt confident any orders coming in from early March (if they make that date) would be handled relatively fast or not. Last year I got my order in after t...

Re: Born to Die- Agave
I am sure it still has some time left to develop leaves with chlorophyll. Just as long as you have something (enough) with green left once the older ones die off.
