Webpage is in Croatian but I guess if you search 'Gutta polycarb' you'd find something in English. Not sure if their products are available in the UK, but at least you'll get an idea 'what does the job'.

Good luck.

Okkkkk.. now I have no choice but to go back to the porch and smell it...

@edds: that white stuff does look & feel like some kind of short hair, rather hard too

@Diane: thank you

@Aiko: seems you're right regarding name. But in the end, final vote here went to: Haworthia cv Snješka

My wife's plants. Seems she treated them well past season, there was / is / will be > 100 flowers...

Some of my haw-gast-aloes (with some intruders) after 'gawd, I really have to tidy them up a bit'. Most of them came from Gerhard Marx & Jakub Jilemicky, they are supposed to show their true beauty this season...

Supposed to be shickendatzii var. pungens but not 101% confirmed. Anyhoo, I like spiny gymnos...

I couldn't find seed list at KKHK website

Sorry Tina, can't help you with that. Got myself one grafted yavia few years ago but it died before I had a chance to play with it.
If you know anyone that sells it's seed or plants, please let me know.

@Ralph : just give me few more decades and cristates & variegates will be your favorite toys
