It's great to hear of others keeping their Pectiniferas for many years without problems. Maybe I was just unlucky. It was a seedling about 1 inch tall & wide so maybe more delicate? I think the next one I buy I will give it a light watering throughout the winter rather than leave it totally dry ...

Sad to report my Uebelmannia Pectinifera is no more. Despite keeping him warm and cosy (well min of 10 degrees anyway) in my kitchen all winter he has keeled over. I did give some water a few days back when it was sunny so maybe that has caused it? I would be interested to hear how others keep these...

Hi just bought these from Lidl. They are labelled as Crassulas. Does anyone know if that's correct and is so what variety they are please? Many thanks

I believe Ipswich had a branch of the society at one time. Does anyone remember it? I'm assuming it stopped having meetings?

Thanks Richard. I assume that is a cross between Aloe and Gasteria?
Thanks

Can anyone name this little plant purchased today in Sainsbury's?

Stunning! What variety is it? I want one!

I read a discussion on here a week or two back regarding grit. To say that I bought a 20kg bag of grit from a local garden centre. It is produced by Westland and is described as ' carefully selected grit between 4 and 7 mm and lime free. At £3.99 for the bag I thought this a good buy?

I have just joined The Haworthia Society and looking to expand my collection of (3) plants if any are for sale? I like Gasterias too and have a Marginata and another unknown Gastetia which is growing really well and will need 're potting very soon
