Re: Lapidaria margaretae
*Very* old! I don't have any that have divided. Not the sort of plant where you can nip out the growing point to make it branch?

Re: Lapidaria margaretae
That must be old. Mine, aged at least ten, is a fraction of the size, and has flowered once in the five years I've had it.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Re: Lapidaria margaretae
It IS old, maybe 30 years, I’d guess.

Re: Lapidaria margaretae
Beautiful plant Diane, may I ask if that is one plant that has divided over many years ?
