You’re doing all the right things.

About next September.

ADBPLS offered a nice range of Aloes this year but germination has been poor to non existent.

You should try Stapeliads....

Always sad when old friends move on. The oldest I lost was 55.

Would parviflora v flexiflora be hardy here?

Do you have any difficulty watering pumice?

I switched to cat litter for a season but the water just ran through. I don’t have the facilities to stand them in trays.

Eborispina and nevadensis are now on their 3rd year outdoors.

Aloe L&N 12190. Looks a bit like ellenbeckii to me.

Last spring was awful. Last summer was awful.

Roll on September.

But why Eric? Monkey tail grows very well on it’s own roots.
