Comments (18)He made me an offer I could not refuse! Both trips, 21 plants the first time, 58 the second, cost $300. The big crested euphorbia is as tall as me, I saw a small one for $45, he charged me $20....See MoreCan someone please help me ID my new succulents?
Comments (7)Your Hens and chicks looks like Sempervivum 'Red Beauty'. Just in case you don't know, most Sempervivums need to be out in the cold in the winter so it doesn't make a great houseplant. A better garden plant for sure. i can't identify the so called zygo cactus from your picture. Maybe a closer shot? The third picture looks to be a sedum of some sort. These all look to be succulents, not cactus, to me. One last thing, most succulents are poisonous to cats so I don't recommend you let your cat eat any of them....See MoreNew cactus growing on my dead grafted cactus
Comments (1)The original may have just corked on the bottom? or are you sure it was actually rotting - was it soft? The plant used for rootstock could be hylocereus - pitaya, dragonfruit; it looks like it with those aerial roots. You could let it grow as is on old base or detach and grow separately. These plants send out aerial roots that usually 'search' for more nutrients. You could actually cut them off. The plant grows quite large, usually better if on a trellis, and when mature & large enough it will bloom and may have fruit. For that, it needs longer period of good temps. Good drainage is important as with any succulents. Do not overwater....See MoreMy new addition "Monkey tail" cactus
Comments (56)I am a little confused. I bought a single tail. The end of the tail got a furry spot that grew into another tail. It is sticking out and I am not sure if I leave it and let it fall down or if I cut it off and replant it....See More
