Jeff, all the plants above were purchased from Mini Garden in Taiwan, as are many of the other pictures I have posted in this thread. I am not permitted to say much more without violating the rules of Houzz®. If you would like to email me, I would be happy to discuss this further; just put something in the subject line. LASSERH@HOTMAIL.COM

@Paul Thanks, I needed that lol

I also have issues with octopodes, mongoose (which clearly should be mongeese), and hey, species!

Anyway, I really could not stand looking at this damaged plant so I amputated the uglyass leaves and hope they root. Not a fast grower but it isn't my slowest springbokvlakensis.

H. springbokvlakensis "Devi" (STC)

Pagan, since you've opened Pandora's Box, species is both singular and plural and as for mongoose, the plural form is mongooses, or, rarely, mongeese. You gals and guys are just too funny!

I definitely have to move to a warmer sunlit geographic location!

bikerdoc, sounds like it's out of my reach, unless they did mail order. Seems like a lot of the unusual ones are 'over there', which would be great for you.

NOT TRUE, Jeff!!!! You will have to email me so I may set you straight. These are available to ANYONE.... just email me. This goes for others reading this post.

Haworthia Mirror Ball Ex STC

Haworthia Nagamine. Ex STC

Haworthia Haku Un (White Cloud). This was a gift from Mr Hammer many years ago before I became more adept at growing Haworthia. I almost killed it. It is one of the slowest maughanii in my collection.

Haworthia bayerii. Ex Hammer

Haworthia Silver Wedding (refusa x magnifica v argenteo-maculosa)

Haworthia magnifica v splendens. The name may have changed but that is what my dear friend in Charlotte called. He gave me one several years ago and it's another of many I almost killed. It had 3 heads. I saved all of them and it has since produced a few more offsets which I gave back to my friend.

Aloebot, that one ID pic of the red haw in the white bonsai pot looks like it could be H. chloracantha

Speaking of mini plants, here are the smallest in my collection. Excluding seedlings (which don't look very exciting).

Many different types from several sources:

ewwmayo, I don't mean to be annoying, but I have to ask what the soil mix is, if that's OK. I'm experimenting with Pumice, Perlite, and a little Vermiculite, but it will be quite a while before I come to any conclusions. Might add some lava rock.

I like the not-quite-square pots. Give them some aesthetic breathing room and easier to take hold of. Being a little claustrophobic, I'm uncomfortable with the wall of pots.

No problem at all. These are in Lechuza Pon, which is pumice, scoria, and zeolite. Other plants are in pumice, grit, and Turface.

I really like these tiny pots. They are 1.5" shallow octagons for plants with tiny roots. Not much soil volume so there is a lower chance of rot.

Of all of these, the one I'm most excited about is Haworthia 'Water Cube'. It's top middle with the yellow tag. Just search "Haworthia 水立方" in Google Images and you will see what I mean. =)

Anxiously awaiting these special little ones to grow up.

That is a pretty one, Kevin. Looks kind of like this...almost..

Also, OT---I can't remember who it was but I'm pretty sure it was in this thread where someone suggested I try Mass Effect. So. I did!

Similar, yes! I like the leaves that have some shine to them. Nice size pot. I think that's my goal for growing size of my best specimens.

Maybe in 10-15 years my maughanii will get there!

Mass Effect is a great series of games, one of my favorites. Did you try the original or one of the sequels?

Eh. Funny you should mention the pot....I just moved it out to a bigger one with a clump of H. venosa var tesselata (used to be in a zi sha pot about a 1.5 inches deep) because it was demanding more water than I had the patience for--twice a week, what a brat!

OT: I came late to the party so I played it kind of like a single continuous game from 1 to 3 and exported the same Shepard sniper throughout. There were some seriously traumatizing moments there lol

Hi guys,

i just started caring for these guys. Watering once a week. Do they look dehydrated?

Yes but that's normal if they have just been transplanted. It isn't unusual for them to take months to plump up. Keep them cool at night (10C to 18C).

Thanks, Pagan, that is encouraging to hear. I have a few that arrived in September and October, some after being more than five weeks in the mail, and only now are they starting to plump up a bit, especially the centres. My H. cooperi truncata still looks pretty dull and greyish, but it is making several pups. They are nicely plump and glossy.

Md, do you have names for your plants?

@bikerdoc 1) truncata 2)picta 3) maughanii

Well, this is what happens when I go back to my plants. I end up getting ideas like "I wonder if there is anything interesting on Arid Lands or eBay"

Haworthia "Evening Glow"

H. bayeri x H. "Aboukyuu". If my research is correct, Aboukyuu is a comptoniana and correcta cross. Correcta itself is a busy little species. So if true (I say "if"), this one below is a complex of H. bayeri, campotiana and correcta.

Which makes that a close cousin to this H. campotiana x bayeri "Secret Forest"

Pagan, I'm not at all as well read as yourself, but I thought bayerii and correcta are one in the same. It is just changing of names by people in high towers.

ok. Read the article.

I think any hybrid with Aboukyuu will be beautiful. =)

OT: Pagan, sniper is too much fun! Shotgun infiltrator was my most exciting play through.

Md - I agree with the others. A bit of time and good light will have them looking great.

Please tell me where you get those nice black pots.

Another H. venosa var tessellata, so as not to go off topic like you ding-a-lings.

(kidding--just to make sure)

Gasteria minture verigated?

Nice plants everyone! I may have posted this plant already, but i like it so much I am posting it again! It is H. ’Gray Ghost’, this is a piece I put in this pot about a year ago... I can’t get over how fast this one grows!

Please post that one as often as you like, it is a pretty one! In fact, I'd like to see it from the side to show what look like offsets? How big is it, diameter-wise?

Nice close-up shot, Jeff. If you have a cooperi, try it with back lighting. It's funky.

OT: Kevin, I feel like a second playthrough as a biotic is necessary, if it is tactically different enough? I just need to recover from the first one lol I treated every major decision there as a serious thought experiment so I need a moment to get over the trauma. Curing the genophage, for example. Arg.

Pagan, I'm not sure what this one is, and I don't have it anymore. :(

Jeff, close-up is great but makes ID a bit difficult. Looks like a cooperi or a cymbiformis

I was mainly showing Pagan a backlit photo. But here is the whole plant. I'm going to try to replace it. It's bottom left of this horrendous dish garden from 8 years ago. Embarrassed. And I found my favorite backlit (back lighted) one.

This looks close.... This is my cooperii.

For Pagan... here’s a side view. It’s a 1 inch pot.

Beth - Grey Ghost looks to be doing very well for you! It's neat how the variegation is so stable.

JeffO - Back lit photos are a lot of fun. Makes me want to set up my actual camera again.

Here are two of my cooperi: first is a leightonii.

Haworthia Korizato. This has always been a difficult one for me. So far so good I've killed a few!

Update on my sunburn plant. Two heads.

Haworthia Window Light

Haworthia Green Woody

Haworthia truncata cv crassa

Haworthia wimii x Silvia

Nice macros. Jeff!

@Kevin: like the Haworthia wimii x Silvia

Paul - Howard gets the credit for the wimii x Silvia. =)

Here a couple of my wimii, they are still recovering from a neglectful December but are some of my favourites in terms of patterning:

And my once awesome Kenzo x Korizato. It does very well when it does well, but when underwatered it lost a lot of leaves very quickly.

Still looks awesome to me, Kevin. Are those two wimii plants hybrids with sylviae too or just wimii?

First one is Haworthia 'Nagamine' STC 81238. Second I had a mix up in name tags so I can't say exactly. For sure it's wimii though!

It's the normal look on mine (I don't tolerate non-practicing succulents) but I'm not used to seeing your haworthias looking so thirsty.

I first want to say this thread is a bad influence on me. I'm trying to find colorful Haws. now after seeing all your pictures. The tough non-windowed Haws. can survive my neglect. These are 2 I just got today. One colorful and the other not.

This plant has leaves shaped like Gasteria. It clumps more like a Haworthia. Does anyone recognize this as a named hybrid of the two?

These are some of the stacked Haws. I like.

I have another H. resendeana that looks much nicer. I noticed today when I pulled it out from under some pregnant onions that it looks like it has powdery mildew. I was not aware this would affect Haworthias. Have any of you run into this problem?

Interesting. Never seen this in my succulents in general. I suspect it's because mine are all in pots and on elevated surfaces where they get significant airflow.

Also, most haworthias turn red to coppery to even black when exposed to a decent amount of light. Only a few will stay green. Viscosa definitely will turn orange to coppery red but it will have to be full sun. Tulistas tend to turn brown to black.

Pagan - Work has been pretty rough the past couple months... and continues to be that way. Since the new year started, I decided to get back on top of my plants and make them a priority again.

Not sure exactly what my wimii have been hybridized with.

Aloebot - Haworthia seem pretty resilient against fungi, but I've seen them affected before. Air flow is key.

One fun colored hybrid, Haworthia 'Violet'.

As I think some of you have this one, Haworthia 'Adele' (STC).

Here is a pup from what I believe is a H. retusa 'Mutica'. It was completely brown when it was on the outskirts of a grow light in my basement. I brought it upstairs and put it next to a window. It's now partly back to green. I thought the pattern was interesting. The bottom part isn't in shadow, it really is brown. (I'm referring to the leaf facing the camera.) It almost looks like one of those chocolate Haworthias or even the H. 'Violet' above. I wonder if keeping it in just the right amount of light would keep it this way. Probably impossible, plus I like this one green, but it might be interesting to try.

Mutica turn and can stay a lovely purple/maroon colour under the right light. Usually it's the undersides of the leaves like yours.

If you find the right spot under artificial lights you can keep it like that essentially all year long. Possible outside too, depending on your growing conditions.

Then I'll give it a try, thanks. I thought there would be an extremely fine line because it's kind of half and half on one face of a leaf. It will be hard to tune because I haven't seen this in any of the other clones, other than the undersides, but I'll take the challenge.

Well, that settles it. My clump of mutica is definitely spending spring in full sun. Might be tricky, it's in a community pot with clumps of viscosa, G. bateseana and the ever annoying venosa var tessellata which will survive but suffer most.

This is great thread - maybe pagan can start page #7 :)?

Yes, ma'am!
