Now it is May, I can finally announce this month's winner.
I never knew Sulcorebutia's were capable of destroying a pot and I was impressed the pot got really thorn apart completely. So I award the winning golden medal to MatDz...!

Re: April 2024 - Bursting out of the pot
Let's add some examples of what I had in mind: An Ariocarpus ripping open a pot from almost the top to the bottom: IMG_0344.jpeg A Gymnocalycium trying to do the same but not even halfway there: IMG_0345.jpeg A Pachypodium succulentum that will be hard to repot later this year if I try to save the p...

April 2024 - Bursting out of the pot
Thanking el48tel for the honour of winning the March 2024 Marvellous Mesembs photo competition. I do like tuberous roots. The bigger the better (and that is mainly the reason I don't like grafting much...). Let's go on to pictures of roots bursting out of their pots. Roots pooking through the holes ...

Let's see if mine will flower at the same time this summer, and I will try to get the same result.

Re: Pachycormus discolor - cuttings?
Maybe grafting is a thing to try?

Re: First flowers of the year
Mine are in bud too. Let's see if they can beat Mammillaria henandezii, which have been in bud since November and still haven't flowered. I do have plants in flower throughout the year, so there is no real battle for first flower. That is the advantage of having winter active plants in your greenhou...

He says there though to remove after germination but I don't know if he's left them for longer and seen what has happened. Keeping them in the water for longer: I mean until they germinate. Cyrtanthus and Habranthus seeds germinate well when I keep them in the water for a week or two. Then once the...
