Thanks Ed,
The other Graptopetalum I had (rusbyi) are looking ok too but not quite as big.

Interesting. A mature plant of rusbyi I have is purple.

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
It'll be interesting to see what happens to them as they grow - they're not getting too much light at the moment.

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
These are the ones not doing as well,
(It's probably not a purpusorum at all but some interloper!)
Still in their 4cm pot. Hoping I might have a white purpusorum though in the left hand pot which would be an amazing bonus!(It's probably not a purpusorum at all but some interloper!)

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
It must have heard me! I just went to throw out my un-germinated pots, and found just one Graptopetalum filiferum has come up in the last couple of days after months of nothing. It's tiny.
I hope you manage to keep your P.cuicatenanum - it's stunning when bigger. I got one from Wiebe Bosma.

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
Good news on your filiferum! I've got a few pots that I've issued a similar threat to so hope that works with some of them too!ralphrmartin wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 5:16 pm I hope you manage to keep your P.cuicatenanum - it's stunning when bigger. I got one from Wiebe Bosma.
I have got some nice plants coming from the flowering stem you sent me. They have rooted from a couple of leaves and also along the stem so I have a back up if the seedling doesn't make it!

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
Thought I'd do a quick update as I had to repot these yesterday - in the modules they were starting to be a bit swamped by some Echeveria subrigida plants. The round pots are 6cm and the square ones 4cm.
The rusbyi are growing well too and those that weren't in too much shade seem to be getting a bit darker but not sure what the final colour will be. They have also got some mildew on the leaves so I'll treating that later today.

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
Mine are embarrassing compared to yours, I guess the slightly unplanned almost 6 weeks break in watering didn't help them... I will see what I can salvage in the next month or so!

Re: Graptopetalum filiferum Batopilas progress
My filiferum never really got going, and died off. I have a total of 3 very tiny plants from all that Koehres seed. This form of filiferum has shorter, broader, and bigger leaves than a form I used to have. It also doesn't help that many plants sold as filiferum are actually the hybrid x Graptoveria 'Silver Star'.
