Thanks, that does look like it. Might sacrifice a pad next year and see if it can take our winters

I can't help with the ID, but I can ask how long you've had it and under what conditions did you grow it throughout the year? Do you have any other cold hardy plants? I have a bunch. I like the cross section of the Lithops. Did you take the photo? I've had it about a year and a half. Its outside in...

I always thought this was a purple prickly pear but after looking at pictures online, I realized its not.

Can anyone ID it? I was hoping for a cold hardy plant

Thanks. I hope thats not it, I have to bring it in over winter.

Yeah it's an Aloe all right, though ID will be hard. Good thing would be to focus on "where did you get it" and look in the mass produced species, as there's over 500 Aloe species, and many looking very alike. I got it at the local ace hardware. It was grown by creach greenhouse which is ...

At least I think its a aloe.

No, trigona is flatter and smoother. I'm thinking it might be ewaldiana.

Anyone know for sure what this might be? Never saw one quite like it and the nursery had no idea.

Repotted with all the limp blooms removed. I took off two big pups and it didn't even make a dent.

Thank you for the proper ID and care info. I am wanting to propagate just 2 or 3 for trading purposes, otherwise I will leave the offshoots alone.

I picked up a Echinopsis chamaecereus today from s big box store. It has a few wilty flowers and over all is kinda rubbery from being so dry but is starting to perk up. I've never had a cactus like this and I'm not quite sure what to do with all the babies? Should I leave them be or thin them some? ...

Water and pot size is good. It may very well be temps, its cold and damp right now. In facts, its always chilly and rainy when this thing is trying to bloom.
I'll have to figure out how to keep it warmer or else rehome it to a better environment.

I have a unknown stapelia thats had bud blast for 2 or 3 years in a row. This years was looking promising but now its starting to yellow and die. Last year I thought it was lack of water so I kept it damper but not soggy. I was in a north window but I moved it to a east window once I saw the bloom. ...

That does look like. I was really hoping for something with prettier flowers. At least it has interesting spines.
