Re: Latest Tesco abomination

Me too!

Poor plant. Well rescued, Jim. Will you denude it of the monstrosities with some meths?

Colin's tummy will turn when he sees that shocking pot. :lol:

Re: Massonia time

What amazing plants Brian! I have not seen them before.

Are they easy for newbies to grow from seed?

Re: Flowering now

Liz, that is a beautiful plant in a beautiful pot. I have a similar Crassula on the kitchen window sill and it flowers readily. Just in a boring pot, although it does like to try to cascade down to the draining board. I'll have to keep a lookout for a suspendable pot, now I have seen your idea, (tu)

Re: Pachypodium brevicaule questions

Diane, what a gorgeous plant. You must be very proud of it! And the babies too. I've never seen one for sale, and at least now I know they are hard to grow and to RESIST, for the sake of the plant. Just like C. burgeri... I would love a red jelly tot but there would be tears before long.

Re: Semi hydroponic culture

I once put a F. pulchra in sand alone, with the little red ChemPak providing its nutrients. It never flowered, and eventually shrivelled and died.

Christer, you're a hothouse flower too!

Re: What ever next?..........

Yuck... I draw the line at roses and fruit trees. And even then it's a rose on another rose, apple onto another apple etc. Unless it's for medical reasons - eg. a beloved poor rooter losing its roots to mealies, needing to be sped along before it dries up. Whatever next... the world is going stark r...
