Thank you Chris but i hope i never have to do that again.
before surgery last Nov.
I had to take a sharp knife & cut back everything brown until there was only green healthy tissue left.I did put her to sleep before and she has no memory of that awful day.When i was finished well her looks left something to be desired,so everyone just smiled real big around her & no reflective surfaces around her until her rossette grew back out. ok my medication does say don't operate heavy machinery and after previewing this post,heavy machinery must include the lap top after the surgery
The surgery was a success story.

That is really cool JoJoe!!!

Great story Jelinda! It sure made an amazing recovery.

I have one or 2 that I may need to do something with!!

Soon I will be doing surgery on my heuffelii. Always makes me cringe.

Lynn does this have to be done every year??

Lynn, this relates to my Ruby Heart question... I think it's going to have to go under the knife too... Right?

Patty be sure to start a new thread for your Ruby Heart problem. We don't want to loose that teaching opportunity. I'll watch for the new thread.

Greg you only do it when you want to start new clusters.

Oh okay, because I think I may want to start a couple off of "torrid zone" which I received from Sue Its such an amazing color right now, tomorrow I'll take a photo, its a cool mix of blues, whitish, reds and yellows

Oooh, sounds gorgeous Greg. Can't wait to see a picture!

Greg, can't wait to see your Torrid Zone... OOPS

Anyway, Greg, I see it's a jovi h. So you are going to have to pay attention to the surgery lesson we are going to get.

Looks like you did a great job Jojoe, it's recovered beautifully!

Can't wait to see pics of your torrid zone Greg, they sound super.

I love your avatar Patty, what type of semp is it?

Sadly, it's one of my many NOID's ... I hoping to match them to their tags in the spring

Jojoe, I love your sense of humor...you must be feeling better or the meds are kicking in nicely? Thanks for sharing!

Greg, where is your Torrid Zone pic you promised us? Or is this just another ploy to keep us tuned in?

OK Patty you asked for it...it came from Calif Sue, and was probably much drier than here in Seattle So...surgery isn't necessary immediately but I'm thinking soon...just know that the photo looks worse than real life! The main reason I would attempt surgery is that I love the plant and I could get several from this one, all under the leaves there are babies waiting to be released!

my current nickname for this plant is "horrid" zone!

greg, what is that? from graptopetalum group?

It looks like it doesn't it, but nope its J.heuffelii 'Torrid Zone' (its gonna look better soon!)

Is that J. for Jovibara? the leaves are so fleshy...
