Can we use a non cactus plant?? Would a Cryptanthus fall under the succulents??

by **Jens** » Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:16 am

Yes Tracey you can use any old succulent for this

Cryptanthus does have succulent leafes, doesn´t it?
Have fun, Jens

It´s a nice plant anyway, a picture under white lights would be interesting to see just how red it naturally gets.

Hey Jen, i will get a pic of it in the sunlight if it gets sunny out today its been soooooooo cloudy and gloomy for so long now it hasnt had much sun in the window i had it in and i just seperated some larger pups from it 2 1/2 weeks ago and then i took it down to the plant room last week and put it under the lights. As you can see in that pic shes already got more pups growing..

She dont get red she gets HOT pink..

Well i won't have one in my frontyard or in my backyard in my life. Unless i move across half of the world and buy me there a little house with it in already.

P.S I have some saguaros (supposedly) that I sow last autumn. Now they are about 5 mm high (if they are indeed saguaros for it was cacti mix that i bought)

Thank you Peterthecactusguy. When people think of cactus, this is what they envision.
