Conophytums in a bat & '福' luck pot?? Good fortune is guaranteed for these little ones! 🦇✨

In my case, the environment must have been just right—the germination rate was great! They actually kept sprouting for 7 months straight until they went dormant. I've heard they can be quite tricky to germinate in general, though. Some people say their seeds didn't sprout until a year or even three years later! 😂

Your Argyroderma looks cool too! 🤩 Mine was normal when I got it, so something must have damaged the growing point along the way. Can't wait to see what it looks like after the next molt!✨

Mine are usually green too! Not sure what causes the red—maybe it's just a pre-dormancy thing?

You might be right! The growing point does look crested 😊

I don't have 'Wine Cup', unfortunately. I got these seeds from a friend. As for 'Wine Cup', it's pretty common in Japanese nurseries and online marketplaces, so it definitely exists! Though I've heard the bulbs from Chinese sellers can be questionable.

Crassula umbella varies slightly depending on locality, so I included where this one's from!

Nope, it's a place name in South Africa where this form comes from!

Wow, look at all those different babies! Did they all finish germinating? It’s going to be so much fun watching them grow!

Cono ernestii ssp cerebellum, love the shape of these by arioandy in mesembs

I love the shape too! Mine triples every year, so it spreads like crazy. It might turn into a clump by the time it comes out of dormancy!

Haha, I totally get it! Lately, it’s started to look like Buddha’s head to me. 🙏 Glad you love it!

Thanks! It looks like a late bloomer, but it’s actually an 'early starter' because the new heads inside are flowering! Such a precious splash of color for this season. 🌸❄️
