that is what you can callm me now if you like. ive decided to go into propagating truncata by different means and experiments now that i probally have access to heated glasshouse and propagation equipment at college. i will be trying different methods including various leaf methods like the great post by marlon and even root cuttings which i remember someone posting about not too long ago. although having an interest in the many exspensive different types found ive decided not to go into tyhis for 2 reasons.
1. ive appreciated the natural occuring form and the mass variation alone of these plant to plant
2. i cant afford to
so that my plan i will be truncata man when i start this in the new year i will let you know what im doing and post photos as well as inform you in how successfull different methods are.
if anyone has knowledge of different methods including substrate conditions etc i would love to know

Re: mr truncata
Hi Robert, that's a bit ambitious "Mr truncata";), but good luck.
In the meantime I think you can call me Sir truncata everyone is different and that is not all of them.

Re: mr truncata
Thems not cabbages thems is kings Mal, as for farming cabbages, I stick to my cattle thanks less work.
As for variety Mal in the picture are 2 taxa out of the 170 odd in the genus Haworthia and I have 144 of them and there is more variety in some species of Haworthia than in some entire cacti genus.
Only teasing Robert.
