Wow, you make that look so easy. Thank you much for the tutorial and the crystal clear photos. Where's my scalpel?

I actually did more surgery on them and ended up with four plants from the one. It really is that easy, twit taught us. I figure if I can sew a huge L shaped tear in one of our horse, I could cut into a heuffelii.

Twit, Director Chief of Surgery at Sempervivum/Jovibara University...

He sure is. And Dr. Houseleeks.

I agree with Bev, good job, very clear.

Now you are all ready to go out and do surgery on your heuffelii. Although they are really interesting when you let them grow into a large clump.

Hmm now you have me wondering what to do...leave them or chop em up! Frankensemp!

I'm impressed - you actually sewed up a wound in your horse?

Good tutorial Lynn, nice pictures!

Thank you Chris. And that would be a yes. We lived out in the middle of nowhere, with no vet available. It was on her chest.

Greg, I only do the surgery if I think I will need more plants. They really are beautiful in a large clump, but the only way to share them is to do surgery. It is amazing how fast they recover. This is a time your really don't want them to get a bunch of water. I do like twit suggests, just a little sip, or misting.

Lynn, you never cease to amaze me.

We all do what we have to do.

The heuffelii surgery was easy.

So clear and concise, I'll be book marking for future use

Hi Kate. It is such a great way to share your favorite heuffelii with friends or family. Glad it was useful to you.
