Re: Succulent ID please??
The only one I'm not sure on is no.5 it just doesn't look quite the same as any of the Crassula Ovata photos I've seen. The leaves are rounder, and it seems to grow single stems rather than the tree like form. But I could just have neglected it :sad: :sad: Hi Robynfs, I could well be very wrong wit...

Re: Succulent ID please??
No 2 looks like Haworthia limifolia, last one appears to be Crassula ovata, give it plenty of light to stop it becoming leggy. A care guide for the last one can be found here https://www.houseplantsexpert.com/jade-plant.html

Is this the moss peat compost? I can get that locally from a farm supplies shop and have used it on my garden.

Re: potting compost
Personally I use Westland but I still have to riddle out the unwanted bits before i mix it with any sand, gravel and/or coir. I would use more expensive stuff if i didn't have to re-pot so often. I purchased a set of Bonsai Stainless Steel Garden Sieves off e-bay for less than £20 delivered I use it...

I was cussing the TV when that came on :lol: I thoroughly enjoyed the Surreal Succulent...

In which case, can anyone recommend an alternative source of suitable pumice?! Chris I had to resort to Bonsai pumice Chris, I couldn't collect from Surrey and eventually purchased from a seller on ebay named 'tannashad' - they were the only ones selling 16ltr bags with delivery by UPS included in ...

Re: My Black Box - Updated Pics
I purchased a 2nd Generation multi-spectrum LED panel earlier this week to see how good they are. 2ndGenPanel1.jpg I swapped it for one of the red/blue panels to see how the plants reacted to it. So far the only thing I've really noticed is the Faucaria tigrina seedlings that were window-sill reared...
