I want to bring a few aloes & haworthias into the house to brighten up a bow window that gets great morning sun. When I tried this last year, my big male chewed off all the tips & flower spikes. I asked on the Succulent Help page about pepper sprays but thought I'd mention it here since your pets have access to your collection. Or perhaps your "children " are just more civilized than mine. Thanks, Sue

Good morning Sue, two weeks for a simple answer. . . Pardon! :wink:
My wife is a vet, she is frequently asked - there is not an effective means.
Cats are as different as their owners. . .
"Mrs. Klein" is very, very socially acceptable - she destroyed nearly nothing.

It helps only patience and serenity. . .


Greetings

Good morning dear cacti friends,


a few photos from October 19.
We had 2 or 3 cold nights, minimum 7°C, and some days with a lot of rain.
But the weather is mainly to warm for October.
All my plants stay outside, the greenhouses are open day and night.

Here we go. . .

Very nice Arios you have! Nice flowers!
A cactus and succulent collector who especially likes Ariocarpus. …Though I have a bit of everything! Want some pictures? See my flickr! I also do art and such.
