Looks like we agree on the Crassula ausensis

Seems like the right course of action. I'd cut off any brown hard stems. No freezing. It will look worse that it does now.

Hi,

I should have been more specific. The first picture that I posted is C. cigaretifera.

Thanks for sharing, Buck! Incredible pictures -- and incredible to see our little guests from the window sill out in the wild and sometimes incredibly high-grown. Ruth Thanks Ruth and everyone else for your nice comments. We will get a few more sets of pics up in the coming days. The jet lag fog is...

Thanks Ian. I always think of you when we are looking at those crazy little mesembs. The dinteranthus are probably the same, even though they look some different. Definitley a conophytum at Aggeneys. Thanks for the Lithops at Luderitz, I think the brown leaved cono is actually a Tylecodon. I have a ...

I think the first may turn out to be C. denticulata. The color is right and they get the the denticules when they get bigger. Cigaretifera is very small. It has a sheath around the base. It could be No 4. Hard know the other two. http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/225_Dsc02356cxrta_1.jpg This i...

Did you get it from me? It looks like one of the seedlings from the mangave (hybrid agave x manfreda) with unknown origins that grows at Pitzer College. Not only has no one been able to tie down the mother plant's orgins, the seedlings go farther from any ID. It could be that you have your own hybri...

Echeveria 'Dondo' is fairly common in the trade, at least with the California growers. It is a hybrid between E. derembergia and E. setosa which accounts for the hairy edges. Easy to grow. Watch out for overwatering.

We've seen thousands of Aloe ferox in the past 6 weeks. That could be. I've seen some with even more prickles that that one. I like to divide ferox and marlothii by skin color. More green for ferox and more grey for marlothii. You will probably not know for sure until it blooms. I agree that it is n...

We are sitting in London's Heathrow Airport waiting for our flight to Los Angeles which will finish a 6 week succulent adventure. Our trip has been so terrific that it is hard to describe (other than the pictures which we are sharing). Internet is very spotty in South Africa at the guest houses, so ...

In our climate (southern California) they turn red in the winter and are green in the summer, in full sun. They will not stand your winter temps in Canada, outdoors.

That's right. Sitting in London Heathrow right now waiting for our plane to Cape Town. We'll see Martin on Saturday. That exact plant is not on his site. We'll see.

I'll give the you tube guy credit. Two guys with a plant that big is not an easy task. I've moved several (more than a dozen) large columnar cacti of at least 10 feet. And lots more in the 3 to 10 foot range. The thing to consider is, compare it to any cutting you make on any cactus. Where is the &q...

It looks to me like E trigona. For sure not heptagona. Nice price.

Here are a few more tiny plants that we saw in Argentina Gymocalycium bruchii http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/225_Dsc00105g_1.jpg Blossfeldia liliputana http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/225_Dsc01178rta_1.jpg Maihueniopsis (Puna) subterranea http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/userpix/225_...
