Re: Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa
After 2 months with the oyster shell top dressing though no growth I am sure it looks better!

Re: Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa
I guessed so! It's probably no consolation, but mine has done very little either. I'm wondering if some limestone might perk it up - I put some chicken grit round one or two other Haworthias that were not thriving, and they have since done better. I'll give it a go. If you do find a solution, I'd b...

Re: Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa
Mine is doing pretty much the same as yours, just sitting and sulking, and only growing very slowly. Hi Ralph. It was actually you I bought the plant from back in 2016 when I decided to have more unusual or uncommon plants. The other plants I had at the same time have all grown well,just this one i...

Re: Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa
When I potted into this pot earlier this year the roots were fine,no dampness or rot.
Should I pot into a much smaller pot do you think?

Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa
I have had this Haworthia mirabilis v.paradoxa since 2016.
It seems to have done nothing since then and has stayed at 3cms in diameter.
Is it a just a really slow grower or does it just take a long time to establish itself?
Any information gladly received.

ID for this succulent?
Was given this cutting and forgot to ask what it was!
I had thought Senecio radicans but the stems are red not green and leaves are not quite the same.
Is it still some sort of Senecio or something completely different?

Re: Detering Snails from the GH
I was wondering if you could try using the copper tape that you usually put round pots to stop slugs and snails.Strips along windows edges etc.Maybe put a barrier round the greenhouse bench.Don't know if it would work but could be worth a try?

Now have something to tell them at the next meeting!! I am also ging to combine my 2 interests and try growing som...
