Cacti and Succulents

Thanks for your response it's on by the kitchen window and it's South facing so we have sunlight all day. I though maybe It may need a bigger pot? I get more and more flowers each year and I think it will definatly become damaged if I try to straighten it. Glad it seems happy

Thank you Yes the taller one is an aloe and when I bought the smaller one the label said it was a Gasteria Okavango. I have moved them to a shadier area of the room, and the aloe seems to be going greener already but the smaller one has no change yet. I watered them a couple of days ago so I...

I water when i remeber really same as my two cactus on the windowsill. What feed shall i use never fed it.

Thank you both … with your help I have now been able to identify the plants. First one is Aloe striata Second one is a Kalanchoe hybrid called 'Elk Antlers'

Thank you both … @pete and @WeeTam I haven't seen mealy bugs on it until now but maybe they were hiding in between the shoots. I have pulled the offshoots apart and hope to plant them soon. I don't think they'll root yet but hopefully they'll last the winter in my conservatory and root in the...

Yes it should do ok @norakay by all means give it some support to bring it upright as until it has some roots to hold it steady will move.. Keep the soil on the drier side, just moist and it should go ok..

1)Mammillaria sp 2)Mammillaria possibly elongata 3)Haworthia limifolia 4)Ceroid 5) Needs better photo 6) Notocactus sp 7) Echinocereus pectinatusThey all look like they could do with more sun/light

It looks like Centranthus ruber, Red Valerian.

But I couldn't live with its mother!!

I'm not sure if I'm right, but this eventually becomes a climber with Ariel roots, I had one go that way a few years ago just before it was wiped out by the bad winter, 2009.I do tend to give mine a little protection should we get something below minus 5C, but I tend to plant it in micro...

They will be pulled up and put away for the winter, all are in pots. I'll post as it k its together Wayne

it look like this

My A.striatula has come through happily too, despite being in a small pot.

No problem. Personally, I would start again and root some cuttings. Wait a few weeks until the days are longer and the weather is warmer. And then cut a few "chains" of segments, leave to dry for a few days, and then re-root in fresh soil.

I think fleece would shut out too much light. Would be fairly easy to lift the cloches & wipe them over, but yes it could be a problem with cactus! Val

Oh? I never knew that. That means, there's still a chance of getting fruits - I will check them out right tomorrow morning! Thanks for that useful information!PS: anyone being able to locate natural hazelnuts? Need these seeds because I want to grow them. Thanks. I offer seeds of tropical...

Yep, repot them singly, otherwise carry on with the neglect.I'm sure they will respond.

I used specialized cactus feed on mine once, but the best result I ever had was those roundish whitish/grey granule of "universal", slow release fertilizer you get for the whole garden. Scattered a bit on the surface in spring, and forgot about it. THe greener and fattest cacti I ever had ;-)

Hi Ms Flower When your cacti shows signs of starting flower buds be very careful not to change the angle of light scource, if you keep it on a windowsill when you pick the plant up make sure it goes back facing the same way. The flower buds twist toward the light and will twist off if at a...
