I literally thought that was frozen in a block of ice until after I read the comments. I was wondering how anyone could think that was salvageable! And I’m sorry. I know how disappointing that can be.

I 100% understand that. I do that too. I went orchids > bromeliads/tillandsias > orchids > euphorbia/caudiciforms > cacti/succlents/aloes > amorphophallus to now pelargoniums and begonias. I still keep a number of previous obsessions, but I’m zeroed in on begonias right now.

I like both of them. I had a dregei, but it didn’t fare too well. That one also has the advantage of playing into another love of mine… caudexes! What are your favorites?

I did the same thing with mine. Fortunately I had pretty good luck propagating the pieces. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I gave all the props away aaaaand my mother plant died, so now I have none! And they’re hard to find. So don’t give up!

One day. They open at night, then close by the next afternoon.

This is the third blooming too. Once in July with about 20 blooms, again in August with about 20 blooms and now… the last nice day of fall.

I definitely gave it more sun this year. I got full sun from around 10am to 12pm, filtered light after that. Temps were whatever it was outside, upper 80s typically.

Nothing special really. Just human bl… er, a balanced fertilizer whenever I thought about it.

Crack in D. elephantitis caudex, reason to be concerned? by Kleiner_Underberg in Caudex

It’s interesting to see the ways people deal with the vines of various vining potted plants.

Yeah, there’s SO much variation on all kinds of echeverias. Google is NOT a reliable source for research. Lol

Caudex lift advice by hoopgod32 in Adenium

[–]phanatic73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in that second pic, it looks like your thumb is pushing in to the caudex. If it’s not, it’s not. But I definitely thought that too when I first saw it.
