Following on from neglected/forlorn and given the time of year (Easter) the theme for this month is any plant brought back to life. Not asking for before and after pictures just a photograph of a plant that you decided not to consign to the compost heap but gave another chance to grow. During my loc...

The EVJ 95-nn numbers signify seeds offered by the Haworthia Society provided by Ernst van Jaarsveld in 1995.

Not a ISI number, that particular one is a Madagascan Euphorbia.

A couple of leaves that dropped off are trying to produce new plants ...

Any idea why C. pyramidalis & Co. do that? I try to not overwater, but water enough, keep them in a nice, gritty mix with some water retentive Sanicat in, and still, one day, they decide to go all crispy like yours. I think they just like doing so. All I can say is they usually die for me but I do ...
