Ficus microcarpa sending out some roots second time this season first bunch didn't go to far . couple are 9 inch up

Looking out into the green room.

Tanpexoctics, wow I wished to have the green house like yours.

Good collection you have.

Bikerdoc, Those seedlings looking great. Space is an issue in Singapore.

Ycloch1 ,its not near big enough seems there is a endless plant list to have lol,and I'm out of room .I hope this winter start a new green house project

Willis, We plants lovers never never enough plants. Always trying to make space for new collection. Always busy experiment new stuff, making new room and the list goes on.... Keeping our hobby alive and fun. Ha..ha..ha.

Ycloch1 you are very right

Halocline, Just wanted to share with you aloe tree images took from a farm

Ycloh1 - I can tell by the lower trunk; they're not "dichotoma", but very cool to see so many that big in one place. There are about 400 Tree Aloe species.

Thanks.

Rob, I like the wild one. It looks more balance tree like. Have a nice shape.

Wow! After reading down through this page I find myself really wanting some type of fat plant! Any tips on a good one to start with? Or where to find them?

Rob, that 1st pic looks like it is the Wild (animal park) in San Diego. Note the pine tree in the background, the service road and the plant tag bottom left.

CasualSweater, Best way to start growing fat plants. Stay away from the expensive one first. Until you have some experience.

I started of with Dorstenia type and than euphorbia. I find that it easier to take care in my saturation.

Which I can just give you some seedlings to start out. (We are half a world away)

The Dorstenia and Euphorbia if you go into it (only the fat plants type) there are alots of variation. Can keep you busy for a good while.

Hope this help. Maybe someone in your region can also chip in.

All fat plants lovers,

Just like to share with you one of the pots I used, its a double pot, inner pot have slotted holes. I think it called air roots burn pots.

Here is an example on my euphobia in the pot.

That's the pot.

Check out the roots popping out from the holes. The idea is to get the plants away from roots bounds. So the more roots hairs will grow through this process when the roots tips hit the air it will burn out causing roots hairs to grow.

Well at least I know this Euphorbia doing very well.

Ps. One more thing to add, mixed dried up faster too. I m a crazy plant guy trying all sort of stuff.

Went to one of my favorite botanic gardens today.

aloebot - Wow! You have a very keen eye. Those are just pics I found on the web, would have never noticed the plant tag.

Rob

Here's a few that I just picked up,

Think the last pic Ceropegia woodie might spelled wrong haha nice plant though

They all look very healthy!

Ro

Euphorbia lone flower. Seldom see euphorbia with only 1 flower. Usually 2or 4 flowers bloom at one time.

Adenium "Emerald Crown"

(3/2/17)

(6/28/17)

Rob, Nice Adenium with matching pot.

Euphorbia Francoisii (pastel type color )

Just got this Pachypodium namaquanum in the mail today :-)

Wow, that namaquanum is super nice.

Once the leaves hydrated it will look great. Nice collection.

beaucarnea recurvata

Does anybody recognize this? All I know is that it's a Euphorbia;).

Euphorbia millotti

Thank you so much Bikerdoc:). What a pretty plant.

Kara, unique euphoria, but don't know the name.

Doc, nice E. Millotti .

I have this Euphorbia but not sure what type. Leave is thin.

Close up of the caudex.

Ycloth, don't know, either, but would guess Euphorbia sp. Something you purchased or collected? You can always send it to me! LOL

Kara, I think your euphorbia could be Euphorbia labatii red leaves.

But I could be wrong.

Doc, I got the euphorbia at a bargain. It was kept as an indoor plant. Trying to hardened it to sunlight. Sorry Doc it a keeper. ;)

Ycloh1, Bikerdoc gave me the id:). It's E. millotti. Thank you for your help tho.

This is E. labatii v red leaf. I’m believe under better growing conditions it gets larger. It’s just waking up

This is Euphorbia moratii

Doc maybe my Euphorbia sp is moratii like the photo above.??

My have Thin leaves.

isde, I know yours is an old photo, but did you prune your Beaucarnea recurvata, or did it just grow that way? I like it. I have a few from seed, but I can't give them enough light. Maybe this summer.

No I haven't pruned it, it grew this way. It pretty much looks the same right now but it's put on some caudex growth and it's fuller up top. I just threw it in my growtent over the winter and forgot about it.

Some of my seed grown Pachypodiums starting to branch.

Here's my little Pachypodium baronii windsorii today

and when I bought it in 2013

Grown a bit in 5 years :-) Now if it would only flower!

Stupidlazydog, wow! 5 long yrs, and only this size. Can't imagine my pachypodium eburneum seedlings currently 1 month + old and hitting the fifth yrs mark. I'm not getting any younger.

Your new jatropha cathartica have a very nice caudex. I like it.

Nice! SLD. That's probably my favorite pachypodium, mine is growing like a weed. I tend to treat it more like a tropical and it seems to love it. Can't wait to see yours flower.

Got Euphorbia Sakarahaensis . Seed grown.

Fat Plants 3?

I second a Fat Plants 3:)!

Isde02, nice new Jathropha. It's a perfect boob;). I love how perfectly round they get, and yours is definitely perfectly round. Lovely new Pachypodiums too. Pachypodiums are so beautiful, they have that pretty metallic "skin";).

SLD, I really like that Pachypodium baronii. Bay Area's succulent/cactus shows start next wknd, and that one I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for;). Thanks another fatty on the list!

Hi Guys n Gals,

Pls move to fat plants 3 and continue from there. Thanks
