keep it indoors with full sun! i try not to water so much until the old leaves are absorbed kinda like lithops. it seems to work well for me mine are 2 years old

hi! everytime my pachypodium brevicaule is about to bloom it abandons its buds! does anyone know why this keeps happening or any tricks to actually have a succsesful bloom?

Aporocactus was lumped into Disocactus by David Hunt in his Lexicon but recent DNA studies have shown it should never be placed in Disocactus, arising from a different line. Not quite sure what yours is. Most I have seen have reddish spines at the tip when growing, as in the second picture in this ...

okay rare might be the wrong choice of words but where i live the only place you can find them is online. so i guess thats what i mean by "rare" and amazon has been suprising me lately i got a few pretty nice dorstenias from them😂 the clustering is exactly whats throwing me off so maybe it...

hello everyone! i work for altman plants and i came across this cactus the label says aporocactus flagelliformis although we have been known to mis label some things. they are kind of rare so if this really is what it says it is i would be beyond happy! can anyone confirm? its pretty young so to me ...

wow yall are amazing thank you so much unfortunately i had to dig them up as our land lord was going to kill them im going to relocate them. the roots are pretty impressive. a lot deeper than i was expecting. the angle doesnt do justice but they are really long!

hello! i found this beautiful clumping cactus growing on our property! i found a few babies but here are the big clumps! its beautiful! i have never seen anything like them growing in the region and i wonder if they are native. they look like some sort of mammillaria. does anyone know what they are?

also on cacti etiolation is irreversible even with good light. succulents can be more forgiving with etiolation because you can behead them. lithops shed leaves completely so i have had lithops go back to normal after a shed. none of yours are etiolated so you are all good!

they all look good to me! just make sure the window they are sitting in doesnt get humid! and i wouldn't repot for a very long time until absolutely necessary, at least a few years! they look great you got some good ones! these are less fussy than a lot of the other lithops! the best thing to do wit...

I just moved houses and a few of my cacti got banged up or shifted in the pots during the move. i have a pretty tall lobivia that is now super crooked but im scared to adjust him back to being upright because hes got a lot of flower buds on him. im scared to disturb him too much more than he already...

The first one is lithops hookeri subfenestrata and the second one is i think is lithops karasmontana mickbergensis. You are lucky! There are a lot of beautiful lithops and conophytum in Japan! much easier to get them in Japan than America! Goodluck with your lithops! Remember to not water in the wi...

two of my smaller lithops seem to be having trouble shedding their old leaves. the leaves are completely dry and have turned into almost paper but they just cant seem to break through. i know they arent dead or rotting and i have watered them properly. one is an optica rubra the really tiny one and ...

sounds amazing!

I've been thinking about if I might want some living stone mesembs. I did some research and I came up with a list of those that are supposedly easier to grow. Although these plants have very specific growth schedules that one absolutely must follow, just how hard are they to grow, particularly in t...

my lithops flower has been dry for awhile now im new to lithop seeds and was wondering how and when to properly get the seeds without hurting my lithop!
