I can offer a cutting of Brug. Jean Pasco/Dr. Suess. Explanation-I got it in a swap and the sender couldn't remember which it was but those were the only two she had. As they are different colors, she told me to wait till it blooms, then I'd know which it was. It hasn't bloomed yet, only got it in April, so I'm still unsure which it is. Lori

Hello, I wm wanting some cuttings of stapelia variegata, it has cream Colored star shaped flowers with brown spots. I will gladly pay postage, or trade for what I have: Pregnant onion Curly spider "Bonnie" Orchid cactus Night blooming cereus Curly lipstick Thank you!

Yes, they go by both names. But I beleive Orbia is the correct one. I too have this one and it's color changes from plant to plant. Almost the same. Yours looks some what larger flowered than mine. Also you can pollenate it an artest paint brush. Just keep dabbing in the center gently and it should set seed stush.

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
