Pinched my wifes camera today to see what it could do. (One day she will set the time and date) Another shot of A. marianiae var herrei

Can someone please explain the point of catching and killing harmless insects? Mealy bugs maybe so, but all others - no. We should be helping them thrive, not killing them. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2022/may/uks-flying-insects-have-declined-60-in-20-years.html Millions of citizens walk ab...

Thanks. I think the plant benefited from me removing all the offsets and there was loads. I potted some up and gave them away at branch meeting. The remainder got binned, no room. The one you see and the other don't have any offsets, any that appears will be removed.

Bought this from Dobbies back in 2020. The label indicated it is a summer grower, yes it probably is in South Africa however here in the UK it grows and flowers for me in winter time. The original plant (shown) sent out loads of offsets which I removed, the biggest I potted up and is growing well as...

For years I have been using these yellow double sided sticky yellow fly catchers in the greenhouse. not clearly shown is a lot of very small white things.

Adromischus halesowensis ??. I rescued this at the back end of 2022 from Roy Mottrams greenhouse. Not in the best condition but is improving. Sadly I could not read all the field data on what was left of the label. Its in a 7inch clay half pot. I don't have any more Adromischus.

Adromischus marianiae v. herrei 2nd picture taken with a different camera which time/date was not set. All photos taken today.

Everyone and their granny has one or had one, Adromischus maculatus

I will start this one off.2x Adromischus sphenophyllus. Ex Roy Mottram (2018) ex Lavranos. 35KM NNW of Grahamstown on the R350 road to Bedford South Africa. Both in 5 inch clay pots.

Sadly the same fate awaits the many hundreds/thousands shown in the pictures above. Doomed to die a slow death. Who knows how much time elapses between being dug up and finally sold to a collector. Its collectors who are driving the market. I don't think you will get the plant to root no matter what...
