Re: Cylindrophyllum? I think not.
Hi. Your mystery plant is a Hereroa. Not sure which species as there are a few that look like this. Possibly H.calycina or H.puttkameriana?

Notocactus ID?
Can somebody please confirm the name of this spiky thing grown from seed sown about a decade ago, the label long since lost? They've been badly neglected and confined to 7cm pots for the past 8 or so years yet seem reasonably content and are in flower at the moment. I'm favouring Notocactus submammu...

Re: Lithops getting ready to flower?
They all seem pretty happy in that bowl Ed. The eberlanzii has sorted itself out over the summer so it's just the lateritia that's in a bit of a muddle. And yes, that's a new head rather than a flower. The new heads normally grow terminally, within the latest leafpair, but additional lateral heads w...

Re: Lithops getting ready to flower?
It's probably not so much the quality of the substrate but more the quantity. I can't really see how deep the bowl is but for sure a smaller, shallower pot would help these plants. Or instead of disturbing them you could always add more lithops to the bowl they're currently in :grin: - a denser colo...

Re: Lithops getting ready to flower?
Yes, I agree the other plant is ssp. eberlanzii. Warmth will encourage growth but only when combined with excess water. The colouration of your plants is good so it seems that your light levels are ok. Lithops do require a drying out period over winter, when water is withheld. This is when they tran...

Re: Lithops getting ready to flower?
Hi edds. That looks like a different plant - markings do change year on year but the markings in your latest photo are considerately darker and more striking. I don't think last years' serial flowerer was lateritia. But anyway, both plants/photos clearly show typical stacking behaviour. In the recen...

Re: Am I also right in assuming .....
Germination is rarely the problem when raising mesembs from seed so whatever works for you. Indeed, it sounds like you did ok with germinating your mesembs and that your losses came later. I would suggest the paper towel method of germination is only really practical for larger seeds than mesembs - ...
