Too late for Ebay, straight to the bin.
Media was still wet, had not watered since fall, thought it was covered well enough but with the amount of rain and wind it must have been wet all winter and spring.

Re: Interesting pots
These pots have been used by propagators for years, and are often stacked out of the way due to lots of newer, cheaper, easier to use "containers". Aside from the shipping costs from the west coast to the UK, do they really open up all the boxes that say "Merry Christmas" or Happ...

Re: Boophone disticha cultivation
I have two from Telos (in CA) and easily a dozen small ones from seed. They should be showing the neck of the bulb and they are winter growers, so stop watering mid spring as they show yellowing foliage.

Re: No flowers this year
very nice plant. I searched for quite a while to find one again after 30ys. I now have 3, one with white spines, the other 2 with curved spines. One is sending out a pup and the other 2 put out a decent show of flowers.

Those who do visit this forum and post is therefore going to be small. Is the forum dying, no not at all. Its...

Re: Watching Conophytums and Lithops
Thank you all for your insight and recommendations.
The seed pots are always the difficult ones for me, with some splitting some shrinking, and recently discovered root mealybugs.

Watching Conophytums and Lithops
Im going into my 3rd year (maybe) of an assortment of Cono's and Lithops from seed. Is there any observed overlap watering among the two? I am in Ca, my Conos are not developing their covering, while many of the Lithops are still in the early/mid splitting mode. Its cool but going to get warmer soon...
