Hi Chris, I will be happy to send you some cuttings, but we were just told yesterday to expect long hours with no days off till June 6th (is that legal?). I don't need you to send any cuttings, but thanks for the offer. My dh's eyes rolled back in his head when I told him of your generous offer. He HATES, HATES, HATES my hardy beds. I have so many different kinds, most I lost track of the names or never knew them. I can spare some basilaris pads; one has bigger pads. Don't know if it will survive by you, but why not experiment? I also have a white blooming imbricata that doesn't grow as fast as the magenta one I have. Very stingy with the blooms, too. So we can start there if you want and then I can send more if you have room. Most of mine bloom pink.

Thanks guys! Now that I have a name I was able to find a pic that looks just like my plant and it does look to be a Haworthia Attenuata. I'm not able to get it closer to a window but it does lean towards the windows behind me which are pretty large so I'm guessing it's "seeking" out the sunlight on its own lol. And I will make sure not to over water it. I put it in fresh soil and I'm going to let it sit like that for a while because the soil seems to have a bit of moisture to it already. Thanks again!

HI, I have just started to get into cacti as well and loving it. I searched for sites to buy seeds and started from there. There are a lot of sites out there, my favourite is cactusstore.com. They have a great variety of seeds and plants. I am starting from seeds and having a lot of success. Hope this helps Chez

The stubs on your cuttings don't looks so good. They don't look good probably because you've been watering the soil causing the ends to rot a bit. I'd recut the ends to remove the rotten bits and let them callous again. That takes some time- a couple days, I think. Then, as Matt mentioned, let them sit in dry soil. Eventually they should regrow roots without being watered.
