I find this to be quite a free flowering plant, which is pleasing as it's a nice flower. (Not in the sense of a lot of flowers at once, but in the sense of flowering every year reliably).

I'd prick those out and put them in the fresh air. The yellow ones are perhaps too far gone, but the others should do better out now.

I'm inclined to agree with you, I use their products to grow my giant pumpkin, and I got 2nd place in the UK last year :wink: Which one is it specifically that you use for your cacti? Never mind which one does he use for his cacti. Which one do you use for your giant pumpkins? :grin: :grin: :grin: ...

I think the name "Jade Peony" is quite apt. It's quite like the colour of Jade, the shape is rather like a peony, and to cap it all, some British guys call these "living rocks" (back to jade again). And Tina, in Japan they use a mix of their own characters, and Chinese characters...

Snap. A couple of weeks ago I took a photo of my Celia in a 6" pan. Today it's in about 20 bits, being rescued.

Mine tends to get frazzled in the greenhouse, where it is too hot for it.

When I was younger, this seemed to be one of the commonest Gymnos, yet it seems quite hard to find these days.

I like that!

You might want to add Ericaceous Miracle Grow to that. It's what I use, and is at least as economical - I add a 500g packet costing £4 to 2000L of water (perhaps more dilute than recommended, but still more than strong enough).

It's Chinese, rather than Japanese. The lower part says "jade peony". The top is hard to read, but is "something king".
