Gasteraloe pup growing on flower stem?
Comments (36)@ rosemariero- That's quite impressive. How long did it take to grow to that size? Also may I have your e-mail address? I have a few questions regarding the Gastria liliputiana(?) that's flowering in that picture, as well as a coulple other succulent related questions.

Comments (2)They look great! If you leave them alone they will branch out after flowering. You can choose to cut new stems off as it grows to make new clones or leave it and let the plant do its thing. Either way, the Crassula is going to require water in the Spring when the Titanopsis will be entering dry season. You'll likely overwater the Titanopsis and the Cono by or before Summer. You have a bunch of terrific plants but they're all wrong for each other;)...See MoreRemoving Aloe Bulbils from flowering stem
Comments (4)Hi, Rachel! I have had bulbils form on my pink blush, too, but none of my other Aloe plants . . . yet. I let it grow some and eventually cut the stem to see if it would root. I could not easily remove it from the stem, so I cut the stem close to the bulbil, let it callous, and then potted it up in dry gritty mix. I guess it worked because the plant grew. The stem was laying sideways, not pointed down into the soil. That is a small container, about 2 inches or less. Sorry I can't tell you exactly when I removed the plant and inflo. It 'looked ready.' (and now I sound like my Grandma telling me how to cook!) BTW - my plants are mostly outside planted in the ground. I let them clump until they are screaming for relief. Then I separate them. (I'm lazy that way. LOL) I find this plant to be a good pupper. Nice plant you have there!...See MoreCrassula deceptor rot- what should I do?
Comments (10)Your original plant does not look rotted to me, just lost leaves near the bottom and the exposed stem hardened off. I have mine outside in full sun, (not very hot here in the SF bay area) and keep it pretty dry. They are several years old, have nice tight growth and bloom once a year. However, the bottom of the stems look just like yours.... and likely won't bud from that area or regrow lost leaves. As long as they are not soft or wrinkled it's pretty normal IMO. Happy growing....See Moregardengems
