Re: Storm damage?
I'm on my way back from China today. The storm took out my internet, which is why my website has been offline for several days. Apparently one of our apple trees was blown over, and I hope there is not too much other damage...

Re: Schlumbergera kautskyi
The pots are sold as aquarium pots. I think I bought mine on Aliexpress.

Schlumbergera kautskyi
My Schlumbergera kautskyi has decided to flower - maybe because we went away for a couple of weeks and left the heating off.
The flower is just like other Schlumbergera flowers, but much smaller, only about 1" (2.5 cm) long:

Re: Aloe flowers today
I have kept one. But it's not flowering this year (and I don't remember it flowering in previous years either).

Re: Flowers for Succulentophiles

Re: Aloe flowers today
Good to see that Aloe descoignsii ssp augustina flowering - mine isn't.

Re: Stapeliad thread
This plant grows like a series of letter Js JJJJJJ, rooting as it grows, with the back end going manky. If you take cuttings, its best to keep one as your main plant, and discard the rearmost piece, rather than trying to keep the same bit and pruning it. That's my experience, anyway. It grows best ...
