Re: Sarcocaulon Herrei
That looks great Ray, thanks for sharing. Can you also share some information about your growing conditions as my own plant is nowhere near as happy as yours with just one flower and another bud struggling to develop.
Cheers

Re: Sarcocaulon Herrei
Hi, Purzo, it normally lives in my big greenhouse with all myother Cacti and Succulents with only frost protection in the winter. I bought it from the Spalding Cactus Mart last April and I haven't repotted it yet but it seems to be growing in something like cat litter. I must admit when I spotted the first buds appearing I started to water it and brought the plant indoors to a sunny window sill which seems to have suited it as I've counted 17 buds on it so far.purzo wrote:That looks great Ray, thanks for sharing.

Re: Sarcocaulon Herrei
They are lovely flowers. I was inspired to put my Sarcocaulon on the windowsill, after reading your post. It has been in the greenhouse overwinter and since I started watering it, it has put on some growth. So, I am hoping it will grow better with more heat, there is not much in the greenhouse with the current weather.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.
