I'm having a lot of trouble fitting all of my plants into my sun room for overwintering, and sunny spots are at a premium. So my cacti will either get some sun or just bright light over the winter. Question is in the subject :) I assume that the cactus seedlings (most about two years old) should get...

Two bulbs, one for ID
Yes, that's pushing the definition of "succulent" a bit. :) My Scilla violacea/Ledebouria socialis three years ago: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/Plants/DSCN8954squilla.jpg A crazy bloomer: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/Plants/IMG_2985Lsocialis-1.jpg I...

Harriet, you got some serious splainin' to do! :) Just because it isn't rare, collected from habitat and impossible to keep alive (so of no interest to euphorbia snobs) doesn't mean it isn't one of the nicest euphorbias! Tony, I notice that your plant has both cyathia and well-developed seed pods at...

This is the time of year I dread most. Last week, high temps near 90. This week, low temps in the upper 40's. I'm hoping that by growing my Euphorbias a bit harder, I'll have fewer losses next spring. This time I'm prepared for the cold! http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii249/spoon99/IMG_0771heate...
