If you happen to have a close up image of the flowers that would help. Another possibility would be runyonii, but a closeup of the flowers would be needed to tell.

Echeveria. Lilacina or 'Lola'

Seems like it's been a while since I updated this thread. Haworthiopsis attenuata var. fasciata f. variegata in flower. PXL_20220606_021620001.PORTRAIT.jpg It's interesting to note that the ovaries in the flower share the same variegation as the leaves. PXL_20220606_021752338.PORTRAIT.jpg

I have no idea why anyone would do that. It would leave an open wound for pathogens to get in, and might cause rot.

1. Echeveria runyonii 'topsy turvey' (a monstrose cultivar of runyonii)
2. Dyckia (an interesting family of xeric bromeliads. Unfortunately I cannot tell the exact species).
3. Senecio, I suspect barbertonicus, but a close up picture would help.

Hi Frank! From you photos of the Cleistocactus, I can see that you have quite a lot of Harrisia jusbertii. They are very tough plant, and don't grow too big. Did you ever used then as rootstock for grafting? I heard some people said they are very good rootstock. I've seen posts on his blog, where h...

I've decide once they get some size they go in clay pots , safer in my climate.

Could you explain why clay pots are better in your climate? Something to do with overheating...? Thank you.

I would leave them the way they are. They can survive for quite a while bare root, waiting until Wednesday should not be a problem. Not sure what the round thing in the last picture is, but I suspect the the plant was started from a young pup. The pup put out an offshoot, and as it grew, the origina...

Can't say the exact species, but I agree with the Cleistocactus ID.

1. Aloe - almost looks like the aloe hybrid blizzard, but the teeth are not correct.
2. Haworthiopsis reinwardtii (?)
3. Kalanchoe daigremontiana (?)

Haworthia reinwardtii is now Haworthiopsis reinwardtii.

It's a form of Echeveria setosa. Could be setosa var. deminuta.

It's a euphorbia, but that's all I can tell you. I'm sure someone else will chime in.

I think it would protect them from the harshest sun but not early morning or evening sun. As long as it doesn't fly away...

Didn't notice it until you pointed it out!
