Hi Mike,
I've not had any luck with these rooting.

If you are going to trim wait until the stem is in fresh growth, I've had luck with bursera fagaroides rooting so its always worth trying.
Good luck

How smart, I may need to buy a few as decoration for the office

Hi Paul,
Thanks- thats good to know but mine were the original ones, luckily.
Its seriously smelly worse than malathion, I treated on the Monday & it still smelt on the Friday.

Looking beautiful Wayne.
Ed, have you got a tardis greenhouse, babies look super

Its my hot greenhouse with Euphorbia & others, which gets a splash here & there, they don't like bone dry roots like the cactus house.

Possibly odd q, I applied compo bi 58. Its A systemic, should you wait a while before watering so its absorbed & spread thru the plant to hopefully kill the bugs or does watering a few days later make no difference or even help spread it around the plant or we haven't a clue.

Hi
Can't explain it but love the colouring.
I have a variegated gymnocalycium where the yellow grows at a faster rate, could it be some chimera properties

I have had some nice pots from this chap, some larger upright ones, prices are more reasonable than some Bonsai people, he does sell on ebay sometimes

Oops, agreed, I do have gerradanthus.
Guess I was blinded by the cute fruit, although the caudex on this is has never grown, my other kedrostis africans are multi lobed so its probably not africans

This was a lovely surprise late last year when I noticed my caudiciform Gerrardanthus lobatus had set fruit. It was quite unexpected as I have had this plant since 2012 from the late Warren Withers collection and this is its first fruiting so I've now got my fingers crossed there's some viable seed ...
