Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Dear friends, thank you very much for your kind words!
Good evening dear cacti-friends,
on 8th April I started moving Haworthia & Co to their summer quarters.
I take a close look at the plants, remove what needs to be removed and am delighted to see them up close!!!
I have to get rid of all the moss. . .
362217
This is one of my (many) special pots; if something breaks off, I sink it in substrate.
There is usually still room for No. 2 and No. 3.
362250
This leaf no longer looks good, but I can't dispose of anything. . .
362252
and lo and behold, "the miracle of life" happened over the winter.
362253
These are cobwebs, harmless!!!
362272
Looking through the boxes, they are getting a bit prettier - actually I should repot everything. . .
362275
Haworthi's children are usually "born" with roots, similar to many Gasteria and Aloes.
362274
only in substrate, they do the rest themselves.
362276
This is the stepping stone to the summer quarters. .
362258
And this resocialization measure, looking at and understanding the damage caused, can be the
stepping stone to a future free of crime and punishment.
(Snail ate flower stalk, flower stalk snapped off. . . But I have to admit; absolutely illegal
I took this little darling into clan liability )

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Good evening dear cacti-friends,
the last few days have been cold,
cold storms, cold rain, cold sleet, cold greenhouses - all cold coffee. . .
The weekend trip to Delkenheim, cacti fair, was too risky for me weather-wise;
I'm probably the only fool in the Rhineland whose car still rolls on winter tires.
but still - too cold. .
This afternoon I almost forgot to take my camera into the greenhouse,
that would have been a serious mistake. . .

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Good evening dear cactus friends,
although the winter has been very mild,
the last four weeks have seen temperatures at and below freezing point.
I haven't watered yet, but I'm due to start tomorrow.
Many plants are already showing buds.
Today some photos from April 24, 2024 - plenty of sun and some buds - and cold!!!

Re: Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln
Good evening dear cacti-friends,
I watered the plants for the first time today.
I am more and more of the opinion that cacti and other succulents
are only really beautiful when they are wet. . .
So some photos from today, April 30, 2024.
