Only thing i could use is more sand sadly. Began using quartz as a topdressing, but its in limited supply and have to use sparsely.

Small update
today on the list
my stestonia recovering post surgery-had the "black rib eating fungus of death" near its apex, so had had to amputate the top(a new branch will probably pop up from the side). I used a heated knife(70" ish), and added cinnamon powder as callous agent-this was recommended by DPOA lynn, and would suggest to use it as well if you dont have sulfur powder.
some collumnars and a hatiora saliconides
And my very messy sansveria(variegated sansveria trifasciata, dwarf sanseveria, and several sansveria cylindrica.

As i was examining the leaves of the dracaena draco seedling, ive noticed that the younger leaves are more tough,
as to compare them to sanseveria, whereas the older ones would be described like yucca elephatipensis . Things got a bit interesting with this plant
Update.....
Im thinking of buying

It's a pilosocereus pachycladus.
As for thr gymnocalycium it's not pfLanzii (as opposed to pfanzii). Looks like denudatum or horstii but it's too blurry.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

So today was cleaning and maintenance day, so had to deal
-pruning amaryllis
-pruning beacurnaea because of pests
-removing dead foliage off of several aloes and crassula plants
-cleaning the tiles under the plants
anyway, meet some more of my plants.
And would appreciate any tips on growing amaryllis. Belonged to my grandmother, sadly shes no longer with us.
