Re: Pleiospilos bolusii

Treat them more like Lithops than Conophytums, but don't be too strict about withholding water until the old leaves are gone. Pleiospilos are somewhat opportunistic growers, with P. nelii the most inclined to grow in cooler weather but they'll all grow in summer (in the UK) provided it isn't too hot...

Re: Sulcorebutia hertusii / patriciae

Mine offset freely. I'd say not much different from the white-haired plants which form generous clumps. My onlt problem with them is what name to put on the label :???:

Re: Avonia ustulata from seed

If they damp off, I would say they need more shade untill they are big enough. How much sunlight are they getting? I'd say the opposite.
