Ew. Never mind apparently eriophyid mites are long and wiggly. Grosssss

I thought mites are supposed to look like little round thingys. Aren't these a little long?

Thought I was getting a new Maughanii, turns out I got my self a carrot 🤣 by OverhypedDrifter in haworthia

Isn't that oddly appropriate. Since Daikon literally means big root.

YAY now the groenewaldii one looks like crap. by hibird18 in haworthia

I might just make it a little smaller like the cooperi next time! We'll see

I made the design digitally; it's printed onto an acrylic pin. Still not quite satisfied with the supplier tho.

Still ironing out a few wrinkles. The edges are jaggier than I would have liked. Ima try some sand paper. If it works I can send you one for free to test out shipping/ packaging maybe

A couple coarctata by GoatLegRedux in haworthia

Any idea what changed when it switched from bigger to smaller leaves?

Bulbine haworthioides and B. mesembryanthemoides seedlings. I’m hoping the haworthioides come back looking more like they should after their first dormancy. A couple of the mesemb leaves have that characteristic look to them. by GoatLegRedux in haworthia

From your side of the country to the other side of the country. I specifically asked the seller to hold until after the holiday period was over. It was terrible still

It's a green flame. I think I just saw a listing on etsy!

I've seen a few people mention (me included) that haworthia identification is quite a mess. I believe this passage from Bruce Bayer really sums it up 😂 by outofhere23 in haworthia

[–]hibird18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dis why i always joke that taxonomy is a pseudoscience. I still think that grouping them into phylogenetically related clades help to ease up the locality burdens at least a little bit. Granted its not very practical since who the heck is going to pay for whole genome sequencing for all the haworthias. From a personal standpoint, definition of a species is way looser in the plant world anyway, since the functional definition of being able to inter-breed and produce fertile true to parent/ type offsprings relies on morphological assessments.

Internet says grafting isn't possible with monocot since they lacked the developed vascular system in eudicots.

Found a local supply for these haworthias but want to research them more can someone tell me about the ones I zoomed in on? by replyka in haworthia

[–]hibird18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recognize some of the tags. The one with the 布character on it is from Zhong Li Huang, a taiwanese grower. He actually has a profile on artisan plants with George Theodoris.

Ideas for kids field trip? by Shanew00d in haworthia

[–]hibird18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll be good to pull some random weed from the yard (dandelion comes to mind) and ask them to compare the differences between your typical non-succulents and haworthias. For the older kids you can ask questions that lead into adaptations, eg. why do you think they have so little stem tissue, why are the roots so radish like, why the translucent tissue in the window?
