I have one not shown:- This is a propgation project. Inside the rings are 5 small plantlets growing, which can either be removed later or left to produce a clump.

It will be interesting to watch the progress

Nice. Like coring an Agave but on a very different scale!!!

I think this is my first flowering from a Haworthia Society seeds! Haworthia translucens subsp. tenera (H. cooperi var. tenera on Jakub Jilemicky's page) x open pollinated on the label (HawSoc 358). A handheld photograph of two plants potted together, so could have been perhaps a bit clearer. Both certainly deserve a repot, just look at that exposed root!

An update on my coring photo,parent plant with nice new roots

Nine new babies

How not to core!

Only 1 new baby.

However nothing lost as mum has nice new roots

Been watching this with interest. The nice rare plants never want to offset ... so how do you force them to pup?
I've seen a power tool used to drill the growing point of a cactus. And now here.
Is there a more gentle way .... like auxins?

Well done Allan and 1 baby is still more than none! I have found with some Echeveria that once you remove the first offsets more will form on the stump so your one might become many over time!

I use fishing line to cut them. The plant with only one pup was not cut square, as you can see. This is why there is only one. I will probably take the centre leaf off, which may encourage more pups.
