Cacti and Succulents

I'd not repot it, as I say it is basically a flowering pot plant. They can be grown on after flowering but without ideal conditions, ie a greenhouse etc. it is unlikely to flower well next year and will probably grow leggy and un attractive, losing its compact shape etc.

@Michael Hewett I hope they do grow well for you & flower next year as well!

Given them 2 good sprayings with soapy water, will get some meths when out shopping .

Hi @PaulB3 That picture was took at a garden centre and I always love to see cactus flowering..for the name mate

sal, I do agree that loads of plants are named Aloe vera by people who don't have a clue.But this is one i actually wouldnt bother with. There are so many fantastic miniature species of Aloe.

It can always be a continual work where larger pieces are removed and chicks from other plants added to the picture as and when it is needed.I like your suggestions of indoor and outdoor versions with differing succulent types, gives me another project if nothing else.I certainly didn't...

Ones for last Christmas and one for this Christmas

Well not quite the next day but here are pics of seed grown echiveria sown 10 months earlier. Half size seed traysEdit : He lied. Top ones are full sized seed trays

I did

@sal73 here they are, after nearly three weeks under the snow.

Not a clear photo. But it looks like Euphorbia ferox to me. Agree with Sal on the rest I would say min 3*C. There aren't that many, so I would try keep them on a windowsill. No water, as even though it may be warmer indoors, they will etiolate due to the poor light.

@longk does the stem feel like velvet as it looks like it

Yes, cutting root easily from this. (Schlumbergera)Val

Mira for some reason your pic didn't come out. My camera isn't good at macro, but this is as close as I can get to my Euphorbia Obesa. Always makes me think of tartan, for some reason

I had to google that Puya - spectacular! I'm growing Puya coerulea var. violacea and P.mirabilis. They germinate easily but seem to take ages to get going. Then suddenly they're off.

In my Dads defence, he has not killed the Lavender that he bought. Trouble is that he will soon be moaning that they are taking the garden over! He is quite happy (and good at ) all the messing about that is needed to grow a few potatoes!

Haha, Yes I had the white one for a few months and then I mistakenly left it in the care of my mother I've now got some more and have a small collection of 15 cuttings of different cultivars in a number of states of growth You know me far to well Pete I'd love a bit of your Pink one as...

The flowers go over in a few days but more coming

It's Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
