Hi!! I have some houseplants that I'd be willing to send. What kinds of things do you have? I'm looking for some philos and maybe something with a little color. I have some dumb cane, a few types of wjews, some mother of millions, and others. please email me if you're interested! ktd125@hotmail.com Thanks!! ~k

That looks like Haworthia, not Aloe: note the transparent skin on the top of the leaves which forms 'windows'. I think it is Haworthis venosa, but that is just a SWAG. Put them in a really, really free draining soil mix. For example, take 1 part potting soil and mix it with one part pea-sized gravel. Set the starts basically on top of the soil, and put it in a warm, bright spot. Don't give them a drop of water until you are *sure* you see new, active growth. That could very well take months! Once you see new, active growth, gradually provide as much direct sun as you can, and start a regular succulent plant watering regiment. Seriously, don't water it until you see new growth!

You are more experienced than I am cactusmcharris. I'm just comparing it to mine both when I got it and what it looks like now. Yes, mine has lost its beautiful purple color in full sun, but the leaves seem rounder than Larry's plant pictured above and my plant seems overall more compact. 1st photo was when I purchased it at the end of January. 2nd photo was 2 months later at the end of March.

Hi Gina, no apologies needed:-) people her will chime in on the IDs, it's not a pain at all, and the list is a little less active because it's JUNE, yay, we are all out in the dirt:-) if you don't get a response soon, try this: repost your photos with numbers and just a short request for ID's. That makes it easier for folks to answer. usually you'll get several responses, with each person just IDing a couple plants, rather than one person doing it all. The numbers help make it easier for several folks to each focus on what they know best.
