Wow, that Boophone is big! Puts my tiny little seedlings to shame. Are any of these plants habitat collected?

Thanks Dan. .

For your info the Boophone disticha is 6 years old, height is 12cm, thickest part is 6cm thick

Are Cyphostemma and Kedrostis dioecious plants ?

[CactusFanDan]

Hmm... I would request that you try to avoid buying habitat-collected plants in future. It's a very destructive process. I'm sure others would agree with me too.

A lot of cucurbits are dioecious, so I'd guess that Kedrostris is, but I'm not sure about Cyphostemma.

I believe everybody will agree that buying habitat collected plants is very sad. Anyone in their right mind can see that.

I'll checked it out with the seller.
NONE of the plants I have are collectes in nature .

I'm more happyer with that knowledge.

This weekend are 3 species added to my collection .
Added are young seedlings of Trichodiadema densum, Othonna macrisperma and Petopentia natalensis.
