One option is to put the plants (in their pots) in a window box. If they are packed reasonably tightly, they won't get knocked over. If there aren't enough to pack tightly and hold each other up, then you need to get some more plants along with your window box.

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find the thread, so hoping someone can point me in the right direction. In previous years the BCSS seed distribution often had collection numbers but with no further detail given on the printed list. I think there was a list somewhere online givin...

I finally got round to sorting out some geometrical shots. In no particular order:

I'd echo the previous comments. I have several forms of Echeveria agavoides, and they are all hardy to at least a few degrees of frost, if dry. E, agavoides is quite fast growing, I'd give this a larger pot (I'd wait for spring, though I know some are happy to repot in winter) and definitely more li...

I’ve always removed the lids on seed trays when the newly emerged seedlings are five days old and sprayed them daily thereafter. What do you with mixed species/varieties which germinate at different times? Keep the lids on until they have all germinated? I’d be grateful for advice thanks. I use the...

Hi Spen You'll be very welcome at Sheffield branch; our first meeting of the year is in a week's time, Friday 12th. Full details on the Sheffield Branch website events page . No admission charge. There will be plants for sale. We have a non-competitive table show each month, with 2 categories, first...

You’ve done a great job Terry. Thank you so much. I'll second Mike's response. Proof that great Mike's think alike, perhaps? :wink: Regarding the third place in the Novice succulent class, I spoke to the owner and her mother, the plant which does look like Conophytum (not Gibbaeum) regale, should n...

At Harlow Carr, the organisers had a job fitting everything in. The show was spread over 2 different rooms, so that didn't help, and it turned out that the available table space was less than ideal, so plants were a bit squashed together. There are bound to be glitches for the first time at a new ve...

The Dudleya was 2nd in class 32 after the Pachyphytum oviferum; the 1st in class 31 was the Crassula tecta which is just visible at the bottom edge of the class 31 Dudleya photo. So the plant was in the correct class, just a glitch with the photo. I'll second Mat's comment: I should add, that a sing...
