Cacti and Succulents

I'd suggest that the bottom part may be dead , the shoot on the right looks ok but the roots may have rotted off completely. Might be worth cutting a couple of stems off and drying them off for rerooting.

Rhipsalis cereuscula Not many flowers this time ...

It's when you turn a pot out and you see white patches in the compost where it's touched the pot sides. I didn't realise they were a different type of Mealy bug @Michael Hewett .I've never actually managed to find the actual insect in the soil I've only seen the white patches.

Those first two are stunning Michael! I've only got Schwarzkopf but the wish-list has suddenly grown

Should add that once the leaves below the pups drop through old age they are basically the same as those that form at the base of the stem.

Thanks Pete. I thought it looked like yours. Heaven only knows where it came from as I discovered it in the Kalanchoe pot that I had had for donkey's years!

I came across one pic today too:

Hi, I was given a few seeds by a work colleague, he could not get them to germinate, a couple have germinated for me and I'm looking for advice to keep them going, thanks.

@Balc , thanks for starting this thread! Many of your more mature plants look like my seed grown ones, great if anyone can put a name on them. Naming challenge

Just bring this forward as I have a few Kalanchoe blossfeldiana.This was it blooming in April ... ... and today ...

Wow, I missed this before. Tat is impressive.

I'll stick with them, I agree they all seem to look alike at that stage.

I couldn't agree with you more!

Yes, the double one is K Calandiva which I would like.

Thank you @pete, it is actually an Aeonium called 'Bluebird'. It's relatively new and was a cutting when I bought it so the stem is very short at the moment. It looks as if it has rooted so I'm hoping it will grow a bit now.

I think you can only buy Ferric phosphate slug pellets now, Metaldehyde ones have been banned.
