daisyl, what mix do you use. I use about 3/4 grit and 1/4 humus (potting soil). It gets too wet this time of year. Got to keep them covered when it rains out. Some I use almost all grit which is poultry grit.

Stush,

Lazy Lazy Lazy! That's me. Miracle Gro Cactus, Palm and Citrus soil with added perlite - 1/4 to 1/3 by volume. Most of my cactus (except for the cold hardy ones) and all my succulents live in my greenhouse. The succulents get watered once a week and the cactus every couple weeks. The greenhouse gets to about 105F to 110F in the summer with 10% humidity (outside, the humidity is lower and so are the temperatures).

I hate the way they changed this site. I may quit. Keeping with Garden Web. Shame the way it was to this!

Got the hang of this new rebuilding. Like it very much now. Who said change is bad?
Well I got another seedling that bloomed. It's a Stapelia but I miss labeled it Huernia. I call it 'Dark Shadows' because it is a seedling.






And a repeat of seedling I call 'Sunshine'

Those are beautiful. I especially like the 2nd one.

Here's another seedling of mine that bloomed this year. Very zebra looking but no solid red center ring. First bloomed last year.

Oh, I REALLY like that one! I'm a sucker for pocka-dots.

Oh my, that's a cutie.

Great Idea, I'll name it 'Pokadot' until a could find it's rightful name if there is any. It is a seedling of unknown origin.

Are you growing them from seed?

Yes, Daisyl, I purchased seed on ebay 3 years ago. 100 mixed seed. About 1/3 germinated. Never got seed of my own yet but this year looks promising.

That sounds like fun! And it looks like you are getting some great plants.

Love all your flowers, wish I had some of them

Hi Tamsh59

to NGA

Hi, love all of your beautiful flowers. I have a couple of stapelias, gigantica and sniderianna ( sorry about the spelling , I was too lazy to go look up the correct spelling) . And I have just discovered that there are more way cooler looking ones than the ones that I have. So if anybody has anything they want to get rid of please pick me!

Where do you live? If you update your personnal information with your location, someone of us who lives near you may be able to help with your request.

Welcome Tamsh59,
I have way too many now but next year I will be giving some away for postage. Message me your name and address and I will put you on my list.

So far I have not noticed any seed pods on my plants. I think bring them in may have dropped their seed pods off. I'll keep watching. Some have still got a tiny node from where flower was. I got another new seedling flowering for the first time. Calling this one 'Spotti' until I can find an exact name if one exists.
