Re: Hardy Echeverias
I would add Echeveria prolifica. It grows like fury and lives up to it's name. I kept mine dry but outside all winter and I put some in my rockery, in the C&S section, with 80% grit, it survived that and has flowered this year. Crassula sarcocaulis is hardy in sheltered conditions. I kept mine on my...

Re: North West Cactus Mart 2019
I agree Pachyphytum compactum. If in doubt check out the International Crassulaceae Network. It is the best source of identification of Crassulaceae that I know. It can be slow to navigate but makes up for it by more information http://www.crassulaceae.ch/.

Re: Scarred Echeveria
Maybe sunburn? We have had some hot sun recently and it is easy to be caught out like this. I had a few last year that got burnt. They were in the greenhouse and it was very hot. I brought them outside but it was too late. They still are not fully recovered.

Re: How to flower :Gasteria bicolor
I have quite a lot of Gasterias, some flower regularly. My regime, is to keep them dry and cool over winter. Water them from spring onwards, using the good soak and drying out completely method, and feed occasionally. I tend to leave them in the greenhouse and in a fairly sunny place, so that they h...

Re: Harrogate Spring Flower Show 2019
That's a very good display. It deserves a good award. I'm sure it will get one, too.
the plant sales area looks attractive and the plants great quality. They will sell well, I hope there are plenty more to fill the spaces.

Re: Aeonium propagation question
I have come across several instances of leaf propagation recently. The advice I picked up is that the thicker leaves varieties work best. A tabuliforme are quite thin leaved, so if they work they should all work. Patience and keeping them cool and shaded is probably the best way to succeed. I have t...

Re: Succulent ID
The Crassula seems to have the leaf shape and thinness of Crassula arborescens ssp undulatifolia. It is not blue as is normal but could be a green form or had the farina rubbed off.

Re: Echeveria purpusorum propagation
I did not think this is Echeveria purpusorum, either. It is more like Echeveria 'Dionysos' a hybrid with another Echeveria species. It seems to be lacking light, which is why the leaves are laying flat. With better light, more sun, it would grow in a more upright manner.

Re: La Gomera mid February
Thank you. The Hotel Jardin Tecina in Playa Santiago. It's quite a good place to stay, as it is on a bus route and the ferry stops there, too.
