H. truncata root cutting propagation anyone?

I finally managed to do it. Took a good few months, I didn't note the exact date down, though. Shame on me, I know.

Yes, I would enjoy pricking out those Epithelantha seedlings - If I had a spare week! :wink:
Then another to pot them up again :mrgreen:

Great photographs, I already had his nursery pinned on my map in case I'm anywhere nearby.

And good luck with pricking out that Epithelantha!

Re: Haworthia first aid advice required.

I'd just add that it's not a species H. truncata, there's certainly someone else in the mix, perhaps H. cymbiformis (cf. https://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUC ... Lime_Green, it's not this, but leaning towards for sure).

Oh certainly, one doesn't exclude the other! But how are we then going to distinguish the two morphological twins at home? :mrgreen:

Re: old BCSS seed distribution collection numbers

I'd also love to see such list. CH 1887 isn't listed on Ralph's field number site; it's the collection number for Titanopsis schwantesii in the 2019 seed list. Can anyone help with info for this? Could be 85 km SE of Springbok, (SA) according to https://www.cactuspoint.cz/e-shop/sukulenty-succulents...
