My Opuntias live in a cold frame, because there's no room in the greenhouse.

Re: Kleinia stapelliformis
I think that's right, Ralph. In a pot the shoots go round and round the inside of the pot, or attempt to get out of the drainage holes.ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Thu Oct 05, 2023 7:52 pm Perhaps that's because of its tendency to send out underground runners?

Re: Kleinia stapelliformis
Looks happy, Mike, a lot of new growth
It does prefer a wide bowl rather than a narrower pot, doesn't it?

Re: Sedum suaveolens propagation. Did I go wrong?
I'd agree about just being patient for offsets. At that size, they're very likely to come next year.
Try rooting individual flower stem leaves/bracts from Sedum suaveolens, rather than the flower stem itself. I haven't tried this with suaveolens, but it works well with some Echeverias.

Re: Umbilicus rupestris
I'm not sure if I'll get any seed but my hopes of getting a little colony going here are still alive. I think it's self fertile. It seldom seems to seed into open ground, but seeds readily into gravel, whether just gravel or gravel top dressing over compost. Tricky to remove it from a clump of hard...

Re: Agave talk & pictures
Agave attenuata is unusual among Agaves in not having a sharp spike on the end of each leaf. Much safer than most for use in areas with children. Commonly used as a (summer) bedding plant in botanical or other large gardens in the UK, but planted out year round in gardens and public areas in Austral...

Re: Aporocactus flagelliformis cultivation
Thanks Mike. How hardy is it, do you know? I don't have any Disocactus as they don't tend to be very hardy, if I recall correctly..... Both flagelliformis and x mallisonii survived the 2010-11 winter in an unheated greenhouse (many other previously hardy plants didn't) and had been fine without hea...
