Light has very little to do with itkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: New MammillariaStopped watering them. Put them in pots and left them outside to do their thing and feel the seasonskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: New MammillariaNope. Even taking this home was messy, the spines got entangled with the shade netting I bought. Somehow I managed to extricate it one spine at a time and only one got pulled offkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: New MammillariaNot a fan of tongs, except for weeding. They get stuck to the gloves too. I just resign myself to pulling out a few spines as I try to extricate the gloves from the cactuskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: New MammillariaNope! For a long time I refused to buy cacti because I killed too many except one that was utterly bullet-proof. Also a hook-spined Mammillaria clumper that is hell to repot and weed. I've had it…kuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula swaziensisThey are almost like a miniature form of Cotyledon orbiculata although of course Cotyledon flowers are very different and designed for sunbirdskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula swaziensisOoh, umbraticola is high on my want list! I think I'll put this Crassula in my garden, they make great-looking clumps over timekuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula swaziensisOh, that obsession with giving any round flat-leaved crassula money-related names is cringey. I have many and I should be a millionaire by now!kuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More crassulasEven the flowering is similar. Muscosa also grows well in the gardenkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More crassulasThey grow in the most hostile-looking niches among the rockskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula flowersAnd praying mantis and jumping spider food. I approve of thiskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula flowersI'll keep reading the pdf I downloadedkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More Crassula flowersI stopped after I learned that it was a butterfly larvae. Not a pest that will decimate the plants all although they have occasionally been quite destructivekuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More Crassula flowersYes, I've had that little grub tunneling in my plants. It has a particular taste for Echeveria. Interesting, because Echeveria are not Native but the native insects recognise them as ediblekuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More Crassula flowersThe diversity of mesembs are fascinating but they are also quite clearly relatedkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More Crassula flowersIt's the largest group of leaf-succulents in Southern Africa after Mesembs (Aizoaceae)kuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: More Crassula flowersYes, I found some genetic studies but they are behind a paywall so I can't access everything but the gist is that there are subtypes that are not closely related to each otherkuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula flowersAh, but they aren't noble and hardworking, like the bees so nobody careskuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Crassula flowers**goes to google genetic studies... It's true that the flowers are very different, I wonder why botanists ever put them there in the first placekuhle (59)in hive-183841 • last yearRE: Wild succulentsJust as soon as the genetic sampling is done, I guess :) Right now the only unifying factor is the flowers
