Re: Gasteria armstrongii

:wink: Note you appear to have this in a shallow pot (or is it camera angle deception?). I am partial to a glazed shallow pot. Gasterias as well. However I have not tried a shallow pot with my gasteria because they usually have long roots and seem to need depth of pot. Looks a mature & healthy p...

Re: Sempervivum Question, to chop or not to chop?

15A864C7-4093-40CE-A1E5-7462D32F59D7.jpeg These two photographs show my point a bit better. Before the flower shot up, the whole plant was a lovely white webby clump.
