I find haworthias difficult to identify at times. Plants can vary depending on growing conditions and time of year. The flowers seem very similar but the shapes and forms can be interesting.

Looks like Haworthia attenuata to me and it’s as tough as old boots. I have one in a pot outside the back of the house, no room in the greenhouse or even under the patio table. It has been there all winter and looks fine. A washing up bowl is probably the next size for repotting!! As far as I am awa...

I am not into photography to a great degree, but if you can save up the entrance fee to Kew, it is fantastic, including an excellent cactus and succulent section in the Princess of Wales Conservatory.

I hope there is no soil in those pots on the lovely lounge carpet I hear a Mrs Ed saying.

Nick I do not have the answer to your question, I try hard but I am usually disappointed with my seed growing. Read carefully the wise comments from Ralph & Phil, you won’t find better growers. I must say that I am very impressed with your results of recent sowing though. Go with your instincts ...

Keeping your succulents in the potting shed seems like a very bad idea. Just too dark and could be too damp. They would be better on a bright window ledge indoors. Sansevieria may not survive below 5 degrees, that’s how I lost some lovely ones.

There are many succulent lovers here.
