I've only been working on my current collection for 2 years now 'cause I keep having to leave behind my collections 'cause I used to move alot, but this is what I've got so far. x2 Sansevieria trifasciata (one regular, one laurentii) Spathiphyllum wallisii Chlorophytum comosum variegatum Cereus peruvianus Hoya carnosa Podocarpus macrophyllus Dracaena marginata x2 Codiaeum variegatum pictum (one regular, one Golden Star) Ficus diversifolia x2 Howiea (some say Howea) belmoreana Hypoestes sanguinolenta (had 3 colors, red, white and pink but for some reason the red didn't make it) Dieffenbachia picta Exotica x2 Zygocactus truncatus (one with white flowers, the other with salmon) African violet (grew from a cutting) Schefflera actinophylla Citrus paradisi (grapfruit tree from seed ^_^) Echinocereus pectinatus Lobivia famatimensis Lemaireocereus marginatus An uknown cactus that looks kind of like a Lobivia but yet not...but I call it my snowman cactus 'cause they way it's shaped it looks like a snowman without a head. Philodendron scandens Sedum morganianum Saxifraga sarmentosa Beaucarnea recurvata Aglaonema Silver Queen Tillandsia cyanea Kalanchoe tomentosa A succulent whose leaves are bluish green and fuzzy and slightly pointed at the ends. Thought it may have been an Echeveria setosa...but those leaves are waxy...not fuzzy. Sedum pachyphyllum Aphelandra squarrosa louisae Sempervivum arachnoideum Coleus (just a little seedling) Araucaria heterophylla x2 Hedera helix (one Glacier, one sagittaefolia) Coffea arabica Gasteria liliputana (one of my personal favs) Lavandula heterophylla Radermachera sinica Dracaena deremensis x2 Pteris (one ensiformis victoriae, one cretica albolineata) Zamioculcus zamiifolia (the infamous ZZ plant, another one of my favs) Crassula perforata (probably not a good reason to buy a plant but I bought it merely for it's common name...string of buttons!) That's it, that's all. 14 of the plants on that list were added just this month! >_I have a few seeds I'm waiting on too though. Fuschia, Cactus, Salpiglossis, Strelitzia, Passiflora, Musa, Dracaena (forget exactly what it is), Lithops and a Succulent.

Nah. I've rooted G. croucheri ssp croucheri twice from a single leaf--the first time had a nice amount of meristem, then the second time when I cut the original leaf out (it was too long and in the way) and stuck it back in pumice. Both times it rooted. Somewhere in this thread, hanzrobo mentioned he suspected the meristem ran along the entire length of the leaf. That is, they are actively-dividing cells that you can take advantage of. It takes months and months though. G. batesiana, specifically, is a mind-numbingly slow species, if you have the original one and not a hybrid.

Pagan - I used to scavenge and beg for free pots. Often I would try to find good ones from the dollar store and drill them, but now I am able to get much higher quality pots for much cheaper and in large quantities. Most of the sturdy clear McDonalds cups I collected are now used for supporting pots or for taking water samples/etc. Good work on pollination! I use the same technique - pull off the anther with tweezers and then brush them up against the stigma. The longer and more of the anther you pull out the easier it is to manipulate. Beth - Sorry! I'm not so good at identifying those types. Most of the others I grow, so it makes IDs easier! They have a new set of large/deep white pots with side slits for root zone aeration, should already be in stock. I didn't get a chance to buy them yet myself (I only saw the limited samples) but plan to in the future. For now I've given up on coarctata... the only really stacked plants I am growing now are the softer leaved Crassulas. Howard - I knew those groenwaldii would be looking fantastic. Are they growing as slow as expected? They look so simple but have such a pleasing look to them. With the others you are growing too I may need to find more speckled Haworthia. My magnifica GM 320 lost is roots and now recovering. Just a couple new ones growing in. I'll have to find my pygmaea JDV 91/38, hrm. Do you tape the bottom of the straws? I would think the seed pods would start to split open and a few seeds may fall through. Or the straw is just small enough that the pod can't split enough to let them fall? MrBlubs - Interested to see that one grow up. Keep us posted!

Conny - I don't think you will have problems with that browning one either. Your Aboukyu is looking fantastic! Howard - You're up for the challenge! I think you're an expert with dealing with rootless Haworthia now, haha. It really does get easier, doesn't it? Today I took the plunge and attempted my first pup-separation like this for my Haworthia truncata 'Omori'. The pups were starting to deform the shape of the mother plant, so it's time for them to finally go. Here they are together: And after some very careful cutting I managed to keep a fat root on one pair of offsets. They were joined together so they will stay like that for now. The other offset has no roots so I am letting it callous. One more photo of plants in progress - Haworthia 'Sansenjyu' 三仙壽. It was etiolated a bit when I got it, but now the nice shape and form is growing out.
