Wonderful cart jumpers. Avs have been jumping in my cart

OooEee, Regina! Nice haul! Glad to hear you found some of your "wants" this time. Can you tell us the names of all? Good looking bunch!

Wow, Regina, are those fat tubercled windows H. maughnii 'Godzilla' (not that there's such a named cultivar, but after seeing those, there should be)? Such well-grown plants! You've scored a major there.

Regina,

Could you contact me privately? I've a question I'd like to ask you, please. Just click on my handle and choose the 'send me an email' option.

Thanks much,

Jeff

!!! Awesome! Those maughanii have some serious roots!

I think it's a good time to keep C. peculiaris in partial shade... unless you want to see how pink and wilted it can get. They're more photosensitive than other Cheirs and jump into dormancy early when faced with heat..

Just getting back from my time up on the Central Coast. Still excited about my new babies.

Roro.... here are the names and individual shots. Should have known you would want to know. hehehehe I was prepared. :-)

OooEee, thanks for the additional pix, Regina! Yes, you know me!! =)

I think that turgida is now a variety of retusa, so it would be H. retusa v. turgida.

Love all your new babies! Congrats on the nice haul of CJs! I will check out your Flickr album.

@Rosemariero Thanks for the name correction. I have updated the picture. :-)

@hanrobo I appreciate your input about keeping that C. peculiaris in good shape. I really do want to keep this one alive. The one I purchased in Feb. of this year is not looking so good. This one is younger though.
Waiting to repot those H. maughanii's into something that will let those roots have more room. There are just about ready to sent out a bloom stalk.

@cactusmcharris I know the H. maughanii's that you are talking about!!! I have seen them on Japanese haworthia sites. They are huge. I don't think these are THAT big but am happy with them none the less. These are the "wants" that I finally have in my little collection!

Hi Regina,

how is your Cheiridopsis peculiaris doing now? It should be plump thanks to the rain we had lately!

That's the way mine are looking today:

I'd like to see them too!

Here is what mine looks like today. Still frustrated that the leaves broke (near the bottom) earlier in the summer when I over watered it.

Growing this has been really challenging for me - I haven't figured out yet what "stage" it's in and how much I should hold back on the water.

Cactusjordi - Any chance you could lend me a few tips? Seems like there isn't much advice with these and I don't mean to hijack the thread!

Well, hello cactusjordi!

I have owned 4 different C. peculiaris now. One that I planted out in a succulent bowl (that I got from a wonderful San Diego chap), the one in the picture here, and two others. Of the 4, my first one (the one bought in San Diego) did not like the hot humid and wet summer. RIP :-( So bummed. It struggled at first then was getting stronger then this. Does not like water and heat when it is dormant.

The one that I purchased shown in the original post here....I have no clue...must have croaked too. Brain is really going. But it did bloom and give me seed.

The last two that I got over a year and a half ago made it through this past crazy summer. These were more protected so I guess that helped. I ran out as the sun had already set tonight and took a few shots.

So there you have it. Some successes and some failures. I know now where to keep them best in my garden. I have no greenhouse or protected area. Mother nature dictates.

Yours look great cactusjordy!

ewwmayo - I'm pretty sure that cactusjordy is completely reliant on Mother nature. They are outside under the cover of other plants. Water....when it falls from the sky...that's it.

Thanks Reggie and Jordie!

Really appreciate you running out and taking photos for me. Just seeing how they look is already a big help.

They look fantastic and the growing notes are helpful too.

Feel free to keep posting updates as they change throughout the year!
