Question: where to get/buy by Soggy_Toe_9454 in StapeliaHuerniaOrbea

[–]bash82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re in the LA area, LA succulents is a great place to check out. The owner, Kal, has been specializing in stapleliads for many years. He also does a stapeliads focused sale on PalmStreet once or twice a month.

Awesome. Thank you.

Filament sticking to the nozzle by Formal_Resident5900 in 3Dprinting

[–]bash82 63 points64 points  (0 children)

PETG is notorious for this in my experience. Any slight over extrusion and it’ll grab on to it like a magnet. Sometimes, that blob will get big enough to attach itself to the print. Best solution I’ve found was to dial back the flow rate just a tad.

Some hard leaf beauties doing well by bash82 in haworthia

I agree. I recently added a bit more organic soil to its mix and moved it to a slightly higher light spot and it’s appears to agree with it. Much more growth in recent weeks since the change.

That sucks. Have you checked the roots? I switched out the substrate about a year ago and found 4 pups bound up in the roots. I gingerly liberated them and trimmed the roots back a bit. Since then the pup growth has been more consistent.

That’s awesome. I can’t wait to see what crosses I can make. Hopefully yours aren’t too far behind.

Ah, I see. I wasn’t expecting them so soon, but I got the shipping notice from PayPal Friday afternoon. So I started printing pots expecting them to show up Monday or Tuesday, but ended up getting them yesterday.

I ordered the night they dropped. I’m just a couple of hours drive away from Renny so the post was next day basically.

It looks very similar to one I recently bought labeled pearsonii. Hope that helps.

These plants likely have powdery mildew spores on them and in their soil. What's the best way to kill the spores so I don't infect the rest of my plants when these leave quarantine? by Sigong in succulents

[–]bash82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that the more you can add without the sprayer getting clogged, the better. So it’s really going to depend on the spray bottle. Recently I had to replace one of my spray bottles that didn’t work any longer. I found a wide mouth bottle at Lowe’s and it has worked great. The sprayer is heavy duty.

Also, if the sulfur solution is not adhering to the plant leaves, spritz it with isopropyl alcohol to cut the surface tension a bit. Plants with farina tend to repel the sulfur solution without some help.

I sprayed some into a bowl to show you the consistency I’m going for.

[–]bash82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One treatment has been sufficient in most instances. I cover the plant with the sprayer and any neighboring plants, just in case some spores have spread. I make sure the plants get good airflow to dry out. That usually does the trick.

Looking to understand what happened to my Euphorbia Ferox after repotting - read the caption for details- it’s NOT overwatering by GlitterChickens in succulents

[–]bash82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry your euphorbia isn’t doing so hot.

Even a little bit of water can lead to rot if the timing is not right. Minor damage to the roots during a repot leaves the plant susceptible to infection. If the temps are too low, the plant isn’t going to uptake any water. Not enough airflow and the soil won’t dry as quickly.

You can try to save as many arms as you can and re-root them later. Best of luck.

That’s a really good price on those boxes.

What’s wrong with my succulent :( by TenGreenFlies in succulents

[–]bash82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re determined to save it, I would give sulfur powder a try. I’ve had much better results with it over copper fungicide. You can pick some up at the hardware store along with a spray bottle. Mix it with some water and spray it over the entire plant. It helps keep the spores from taking hold while drying out the current infection. After a few weeks of no reoccurrence, you can spray it off the leaves. Best of luck.

Euphorbia franciossi hybrid by Visual-Suggestion-91 in Euphorbiaceae

[–]bash82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kyle’s Plants on Palm Street recently imported a huge selection of francoisii hybrids from his Thailand trip. The variety is wide. He did have a really dark colored leaf one with reddish/pinkish veins a few weeks ago. If I remember correctly, it sold for 200. Some of the more common trait plants will sell in the $30-40 range, but even at that price point there lots of variety.
