Re: Conophytum minutum
Thanks for your comments!
I think the plant is one of a batch of single headers I bought in 2009. For some reason they seem to grow well for me, I’m certainly no expert! I did have a couple get scorched last year, bit disappointing as they were a fair size, but live and learn. Surprisingly no scorching this year.
I probably feed and water them a bit too much for connoisseurs. And I grow them in a John Innes 2 or 3 with 50% grit. No cat litter here! But it seems to work for me.
Yes, they make crazy prices. I’m thinking I might set up a little business! No lock on greenhouse but fortunately I have a guard dog. See my post on Introduce Yourself.
