Caudiciforms

20 years ago

I want to start a collection of caudiciforms. I realise there are many different plant species in this group. Can anyone help re spare plants (swap or otherwise), or details of a good source.

There are many species in the group, but not many available in Australia. Don't really know of any sources in NSW. I;m sure there are private growers though. Do your research, as most caudicforms aren't cheap particular the good sized ones. However they are really great fascinating plants, slow growing but very rewarding.

Hello, Mark, I'd like a cutting if they're still available. Please email me at cacatnip@yahoo.com. I also have some cuttings of Senecio orbicularis if you are interested in trading. Thanks! Here is a pic of S. orbicularis. It will also form tuberous caudex from a cutting: -curiouscomputer

Pachypodium caudiciform NOID?

It depends on the species of the Genus Pachypodium and where you live as to availability of different species and cultivars. A garden center or specialty greenhouse will be where you can usually find them but of course "Big Box" stores are now beginning to carry the more common species as well.....

Your bupleurifolia looks really good Not that you have to but if it where buried in a little deeper in that same pot, it would swell wider/ fatter ( Personally I wouldn't re-pot it until very early next season as it would be such pain at this stage for you and it.) I tend to mine more frequently( not heavily) during the growing season. Tend to think the same would be true for E. stella ( not yet in my collection) A closer look ? or an ID on the wider round pot to the right and in the middle could be more helpful the pots seem to be to wide in size but could be okay. Dormant time: I tend not to let bupleurifolia get to overly dry as it shouldn't ever be allowed to be totally dry during dormancy do be careful when (or if) you are to water it. For some of my summer season growing Euphorbia, walking past them with a full mister in winter is to much water. Looks like it's sending out both new leaves and it's cyathia As for the back one ( in the biggest pot) I wouldn't change a thing

Rudolf doesn't have everything! His list needs major updating, I went up there a couple of weeks ago. His retiring soon so after that, I doubt there would be anyone in Australia that would be growing much of what was formerly on his list. Better get in quick.

Thank you one and all for your comments from which I gather none of you have spare plants to trade or otherwise.
Rudolf will be in Sydney this weekend and I will see what he brings. There is a cactus and succulent show next to the Top Ryde shopping centre on Saturday.
I am not a member of any of these clubs and grow the plants for my own interest.

hello crazy orchids ,

I am trying to liven up this forum, and I was wondering if you could post a new message detailing your success or otherwise in your persuit of caudici forms. Did you obtain anything from Rudy . If so how about a picture
