Hi, have you considered Gasteria disticha?

So I finally understand that what I see in some pictures of Ceraria pygmaea is really a true caudex. These are nice lovely plants! I have three small C. pygmaea (unfortunately they are rooted cuttings) and a young C. fruticulosa (this one is a seedling). Do you have any experiences about the possibi...

A picture I already posted on Italian forum Cactus&Co., Trichodiadema densum buds in the magic moment when they appear like jewels.
