Re: Sedum Palmers 'rayones'
Here's my Guatemalan Mini that has been sat out in an open porch all winter.
I left some other seedlings outside in 6cm pots and whole there are some green shoots still, I think they will all rot as the weather warms.- Tue Feb 13, 2024 5:08 pm

Re: Hildewintera 2024
I saved some seed from my Hildewintera hybrids last year, and will be sowing them in March. I look forward to seeing the results... Good luck Ralph - the germination rate on my HWH hybrids is pretty abysmal! Got a few crosses that are a couple of years old and some seedlings from last year though.

Hildewintera 2024
I always get a few buds overwintering on these in my office. Most fall off but the occasional one will persist and flower earlier the next year. However the timing of this one surprised me by starting to swell in January and then today it opened! PXL_20240213_084650892.jpg These plants are perfect h...

Re: Repotting at this time of year in the UK?
A pointless and cruel thing to do in my view. It doesn't seem to do any lasting damage from what I have seen and the new leaves will soon grow out and replace those painted ones. I still have a large agavoides my wife was given one Christmas covered in paint and glitter that is now a nice plain gre...

Re: Looking for Echinopsis hybrids
You've listed the most common commercial sources. After that eBay can be a good source if the seller has a good reputation for providing accurate plants (and incredibly frustrating and disappointing if not!).
The best source though is swapping with others once you have built up some pups to swap.

Re: My avonia quinaria won’t root and it’s been almost a year. Please send help
I've never grown these but the best thing I have found for reluctant to root plants or cuttings is pure cat litter / clay granules with the pot sat in a saucer of water. The clay retains some moisture but allows excellent air circulation all the time and this has rooted some very stubborn Agave and ...

Re: Does anyone grow Echeveria purpusorum (Köhres 7540)
I've got some plants Mat - will try and remember to take some pictures over the weekend (might be able to tomorrow morning before I head out for a meeting!).
I still have a sneaking suspicion they are hybrids at this stage. Certainly some of the seedlings are.
