Re: Useful Tips & Tricks
Hi Folks I have one using kebab sticks which are very inexpensive from supermarkets. When repotting spreading plants such as Huernias, Piaranthus and the likes. I lay several horizontally on the top of the pot in a course grid. Place the plant on the sticks, threading a stick through where needed. T...

Re: Senecio Stapeliformis
A nice plant to grow. As you see it likes to spread underground. Be a little cautious with watering as they can easily rot. My plant grows happily enough under the benching in a sunny greenhouse so gets broken sunlight.
The flowers are such a reward when they arrive.

Re: August 2015 - Genus of the Month - Dorstenia

Here are two of mine. the first D. foetida I have grown for over a decade and the second D. hilderbrandtii ssp. crispum I have grown for one year aquiring it ...

Re: Echeveria rodolfii & Echeveria trianthina
I looked on the International Crassulacea Network and found not very much about E rodolfii and a fair bit about E trianthina. They appear to be correctly identified as far as I can see. Thanks Liz and well spotted. Just hoping that someone has germinated E. Rodolfii from Gerrard Koehres seed list. ...
