Its natural tendency is to produce a clump of small sized heads. I've never tried removing all the offsets, I suspect it won't work, but give it a try. The offsets root readily enough. For me, I like the appearance of a clump in leaf, it makes a neat mound; I find it less attractive when dormant but...

I keep meaning to add some photos, finally got round to doing something. I think they all qualify as marvellous - I think so anyway. First 3 are of Lampranthus in Attila Kapitany's garden in Melbourne: Lampranthus AK.JPG Lampranthus AK 2.JPG lampranthus AK 3.JPG Then a wider view of the garden, so n...

In Gordon Rowley's Crassula book, the photo for 'Bride's Bouquet' is the same photo used for 'Springtime' , I've always assumed they were the same plant. The International Crassulaceae Network site has this on the 'Springtime' page Very similar to C. 'Bride's Bouquet', in fact when grown under iden...

I have a Pachycormus discolor from seed. Considering how old it is, my cultivation regime and the small bonsai tray it's in seem to have bonsai-ed it. however last year it grew quite a long stem out to one side. I must have put feed in the water somehow. The plant looks an odd shape with this branch...

Ravi Ivaturi in Sheffield makes ceramic pots, see https://vanapottery.com/
A bit far from Devon.
He does sell caudiciforms as well, but I don't think he has a website for these.

For most cacti and succulents it would need to be on a sunny windowsill; the positioning in some of the photos in the link would only be suitable for plants tolerating low light levels. The drawback of a sunny windowsill is that temperatures inside a confined glass container could get way too hot in...

One option is to put the plants (in their pots) in a window box. If they are packed reasonably tightly, they won't get knocked over. If there aren't enough to pack tightly and hold each other up, then you need to get some more plants along with your window box.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction. In previous years the BCSS seed distribution often had collection numbers but with no further detail given on the printed list. I think there was a list somewhere online givin...

I finally got round to sorting out some geometrical shots. In no particular order:

I'd echo the previous comments. I have several forms of Echeveria agavoides, and they are all hardy to at least a few degrees of frost, if dry. E, agavoides is quite fast growing, I'd give this a larger pot (I'd wait for spring, though I know some are happy to repot in winter) and definitely more li...
