A Tricodiadema?

[Dalesmicro]

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I think this is a cactus; on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I think it isn't, and on Sundays I I'm not sure. Today is Thursday so its not a cactus, possibly an Aizoaceae? Looking through the pictures, maybe some kind of Tricodadema? For sizes, the plant is in a 2 inch pot.Thanks as always!

Yeah, it's a Trichodiadema. Maybe T. densum?

T. densum looks pretty likely.

Cute little thing.

Wow thats some close up lense! Looks like T.Densum. From africa, western cape, Karoo desert. Definately not cactus. Should flower in spring or early summer.

Hi and thanks for the ID. Are they self fertile or can one get seeds by playing bee on a single plant?

Very few mesembs are self fertile, there are one or two such as delosperma harazianum. But generally you need two plants to make seed. Trichos generally need rooting hormone to do cuttings. Best done in spring from non flowering stubs. Cut near an node.
You can buy seed easily from mesa garden in the US.
