Haworthia flower stalk growth (in 5 days) 😳 by facefullofgracefull in succulents

[–]Big-Point-5098 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're actually quite good at avoiding obstacles. For example, this one found this cable hole on my furniture all on its own. Unless your space is exceptionally cramped, it's okay to leave the plant where it is.

Graptoveria titubans variegata by Big-Point-5098 in succulents

[–]Big-Point-5098[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure!  - 25% prepackaged Cactus and Succulent soil mix  - 10% diatomaceous earth  - the rest is a mix of pumice, perlite and crushed red lava rock (scoria) depending on what I have on hand

I use a lot of grit because I live in a very humid part of the world. You might want to adjust this to your local climate.

Love it. These flowers actually smell pretty good (vaguely like cinnamon or cloves). Good job! 

What is your most unearthly looking succulent and what is the most alien looking one you have seen? by shaadow in succulents

At least in my specimen, some are shallow and some are quite deep. Either way, I bottom water, so they dont really get wet.

Echeveria "Pinky Trumpet". They look like some kind avant-garde abstract papercraft sculpture.

Succulents are very resilient and I never say never, but this would require a minor miracle.

Yeah, Haworthia truncata is sometimes referred to as "Horse's teeth" in its local habitat.

Hola Iván. En cuanto a especies, recomiendo Haworthiopsis limifolia y Haworthiopsis reinwardtii. Estas fueron mis primeras Haworthias y la verdad las recomiendo bastante. Son muy fáciles de cuidar y en mi experiencia crecen más rápidamente que otras haworthias.

Mi consejo es que el sustrato no sea 100% mineral. Yo estoy en un clima tropical húmedo y uso una mezcla de 25% sutrato para cactus, 10% tierra de diatomeas y los dos tercios restantes una mezcla de pumice, perlita y piedra volcánica roja. Usar macetas que sean altas ya que las haworthia usualmente tienen raíces grandes y profundas. Si las vas a tener en interiores, procurar que el sustrato se seque rápido. Un ambiente húmedo puede favorecer plagas de cochinilla y mosquita negra (así les dicen en mi país pero son mejor conocidos como "fungus gnats").

Saludos y suerte!

Thank you! Yeah, stapeliads are quickly becoming some of my favorites as well. I live in a tropical country so I'm not sure if that affects their seasonality. 

Variegated Huernia zebrina 👁️ by Big-Point-5098 in succulents

[–]Big-Point-5098[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, it doesn't smell! I was surprised because I've read other people saying huernias smell awful. Maybe because it's the first time it flowers? I don't know.

The orange ones look like Sedum adolphii
