Cacti and Succulents

To be honest I don't grow any succulent Euphorbias so a cutting would be experimental for me as well. Having said that, I do think it's the same approach as with cacti.Sounds like the damage is only on the surface then, but it has ruined the look of the plant.

Been growing this propagated Jade plant since probably last july and I've only just noticed these weird textured bumps appearing on the leaves I think it must be quite recent as I haven't noticed them before, but does anyone have any idea what it is and if it's harmful?

Do you leave the Aeoniums out all year as well?

Astrophytum myriostigma, flowering in October - it's never done that before, and it has had several flowers through the summer.

Well I think there are different species and I'm not an expert, but nothing grows in the gloom we have between now and february.When they get adult I find there are summer flowing ones and autumn flowering ones, but once flowered they tend to go dormant again, for 8 months They really are...

Thank you @Ucook55

I'd like to help regarding watering but I've never grown plants in that way. I tend to use very gritty compost and drainage in the pots.I can only suggest you keep them on the dry side, as that will be preferable to too wet. Obviously more water in summer, and very little if any in winter.

hey, how old is she??

Yes make sure there are lots of roots before moving it into a bigger pot.

Aw thank you!!

Thanks for the advice!! I am going to leave it as it is because it looks very happy at the moment. Keeping a close eye on it though....

I saw a video of two big horn sheep having a bit of a fight. I dont know what the horns or skull is made of but you wouldn't want to get in the way of one of them.

I had a puya alpestris I grew from seed (repotting was very painful!). It was left outside all year in Nottinghamshire and grew quite happily and flowered. It died when I forgot to water it one summer, but had stood the winters no problem.

Michael Hewett,Thanks very much for your identification of the Parodia leninghausii. At long last I can get them all labelled up. I don't remember ever seeing flowers on the original plant but my wife does. It must have been many years ago. Many years ago when I was a student, I had a small...

I have this Coryphantha maiz-tablasensisVAR ?UKNOWN?I bought it on ebay and the seller said that the old man that took care of them hasn't done so for a few years yet this survived in a green house.Since then I potted them on a south-facing windowsill and waterd them very very lightly. I...

The place they live at now gets extremely hot in the summer as it holds on to heat from the day before.Thanks for the tip i will only go up to 15%-25% of the recommended concentration Limited to once every 2 months during the growing seasonThat way it wont be too much fertiliser for this...

I agree with Pete the small brown spots look like wounds from insects .Another thing you need to bare in mind is that some insects cannot be seen with the naked eye as they live in the soil Some Nematodes eat roots slowly and they tend to live in garden centresAs they prefer wet...

Not sure if Melocactus is self fertile. If it is, it's easy as you say, but as it has flowered before and not produced seed I'm I'm think maybe it needs another Melocactus of a different clone to pollinate it.Hybrids will work with some cacti but not all.

I have / had Escheceria secunda. I say have / had because I am getting rid of all my small succulents.

Thank you @pete, yes I do have several Euphorbias, although I have lost a few recently. Now that you mention it I think I posted the close-up photo in the 'What's looking good in May' thread. I'd forgotten ... my memory gets worse
