Hi, better late than never. I'm looking to expand my Stapelia collection of 3! Have S Gigantea, 2 types of Grandiflora. For trade I have Cristata Lemaireocereous Monostera, any number of Orchids or Epis. Let me know if any of this interests you. Nick

Stinky or not, I reckon the flowers on these are beautiful. You've done well Kim, I think you're right with the ID too, it used to be called Orbea variegata. Cheers CP

Cool! The flowers are so exotic on these. Too bad they're stinky! Jen

Wow, a lot to comment on. I'll address a couple of your questions/plants. You were very brave, and did a great job wacking your jade back to a leafless form. It looks like it is growing well. In the spring, re-examine it and perhaps remove some of the new growth leaving only branches growing in the direction you want. The Black Prince may have been a little over-watered, but it looks good in your photo. Leaf resorption of the lowest leaves on the plant is normal, especially this time of year. The plant is shedding old leaves, and growing new ones fast. Don't worry about this unless the leaves turn yellow, and somewhat translucent, but are still plump. This is rot, and immediate action will be necessary to save the plant. I don't think you have this problem now. Be careful about removing too many of the leaves. Only those that come free without any struggle at all should be removed. It will tolerate a lot of watering (or rain) during the winter. I have several living outside in the cold and rain blooming their heads off. 'Black Prince' is a mealy bug magnet, keep a eye out for the little white buggers. :) Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a cultivar. The 'molded wax' plant is Echeveria agavoides, a species. There are many cultivars, or variants of this plant, and also many hybrids. Yes, the small roots are Extremely delicate. Do not try to move the leaf start at all. You can bury the lower part of the rooted leaf a little by dropping pinches of soil from above. Your picture looks very odd for a couple of reasons. The lowest part of the leaf (where it was attached to the stem) is where roots will emerge. New plant(s) will emerge above this point in a small cluster of compact leaves. Your stemmed new growth looks odd. Also, agavoides has pointed, triangular leaves, and it looks has though your start is growing roots and a new stem from the narrow end, not the wider base. Could you show a better picture of the leaf and new growth? Yes, you can water 'winter growers' in the fall and early spring, but the usual "water only when dry' rule still applies. Winter growers actually grow in the autumn and spring, but not so much in the dead of winter depending on the environment. Hope that helps. Brad
