Re: Sedum suaveolens propagation. Did I go wrong?
I've grown this plant for a good number of years and agree with Diane, it looks healthy, so maybe just needs to be a bit bigger. Mine offsets OK, but not quickly. Good luck!

Echeveria pot
I visited Wisley gardens today and they had some lovely pots of Echeverias on display
I suspect it's partly to encourage people to use plants that are tolerant of dry conditions. They looked happy, although there had obviously been one casualty.- Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:30 pm

Re: Late summer flowers
Good to see Diane, I've had a few late cactus flowers this year, always a nice surprise.

Re: A small collection of copiapoa
Interesting Eric, I also have an old plant of C. krainziana in a 12" bowl, here it is a few years ago
It seems to have smaller heads than yours, but also has never flowered.- Fri Sep 15, 2023 12:28 pm

Re: Pollinating Crassula
The late Terry Smale used to use a hair for pollination, as many of us once saw on Gardeners' World. I have been the servant of a good number of cats and certainly wouldn't recommend trying to get a whisker from one! However, they do lose whiskers occasionally, so that's a possibility. Good luck!

Re: If I haven't seen a mealie bug for a year
Very interesting Nick, incidentally did you damage any plants with your submersing regime? I've killed things in the past when trying to eradicate mealies. I believe you have relocated to Shetland, so wonder if the different, and presumably colder, climate might be a factor. Whatever the reason, lon...

Re: Sad news
This is very sad news indeed, and a tremendous loss to the hobby. As Diane says, his books are full of reliable information, all presented in a way that is easy to read and with plenty of humorous anecdotes. I've known John for many years as he regularly attended our branch meetings and gave fascina...
