Just photo it from the top(the rosette), and the upper side, preferably in a lit room. Nothing fancy

Re: The cheshirecat's succulent problem...
For today's number i bring you more pictures!
The cutting was captured close to the Mediterranean coast, in a very sunny area.
It has a thick stem, and elongated, thick leaves with ovoid attachments.
It is bluish green in colour, with opaque surface.
It rooted well in water, and has grown well once repotted in cacti compost.
It has had a few leaves knocked off with all the house moving, interestingly enough it has produced offshoots where the leaves used to be.

Sold on that!
Cheers!
These are a few crassula ovata (I think) some caught wild some shop bought.
And my second favourite, portulacaria afra (?)
And I think that's most if not all of them!
Yay!!!
Thank you so much now I can label them all!

Re: The cheshirecat's succulent problem...
Happy Christmas everybody!
Look at what I have found in the discount corner yesterday
Any suggestions on how to remove hats and eyes?
Are these little fellas going to suffer if I cut the hairs with a scalpel blade?
If they survive surgery, does anyone want the second one?

Yay welcome back. Be careful while removing hats and eyes. My echinocereus got so badly etiolated in between, it ceased growing altogether. Let out an offshoot and it got eaten.

Merry christmas to you too!
I would say put it out in full sun and the glue will be soft so you can take it out easily but i don't think that's an option for you right?

Full Sun?
Ye that's not going to happen I'm afraid!
Esteban I have received a set of grow lights so no more etiolation here hopefully!

Success!
Go me!
I have no concerns about the fluffiest, he should be ok aside from a bit of a haircut in places.
The other guy was not so lucky: lots of glue with subsequent hairloss, and the nose and hat were stuck in with cocktail sticks so I'm not sure if he's going to pull through.
Well, at least I have given them a chance

Just so you know, these plants are espostoas. Proably lanata or melanostele.

Should I try to plug the wound or leave it open to dry?

Re: The cheshirecat's succulent problem...
plug it with cinnamon. It will heal. Unless the center is directly damaged or the wounds allready infected, should be fine.

Re: The cheshirecat's succulent problem...
I have bought the cinnamon, do I try to apply it as powder or make a poultice?

Do you have art brush? use that to apply on scar tissue.
