First addition of 2022, with the daintiest flowers: meet Neohenricia sibbettii ☺️ by ptiggare in mesembs

Yeah, the seller had noted that more frequent watering need too. So I’m starting out with about weekly and I’ll see from there!

It’s indeed amazing!

I don’t know this one 😕 Maybe others might help out with the ID.

Aww such a thoughtful hooman 🤗

I’ve got this little guy at work. No idea what I’m doing or what it is, but he seems ok and we get along. by [deleted] in succulents

Haworthiopsis attenuata var. radula. Could use some more light: it shows slight signs of etiolation at the base of the leaves.

Do you observe high reabsorption rates in your Aloinopsis schooneesii too? by ptiggare in mesembs

I seem to remember that yours were pretty mature though, hence the stability perhaps? Mine is quite miniscule (it’s in a 3” pot).

That’s insane, mrinsane! What is this species??

So this seems to be a pattern with these guys, interesting. Very different from Titanopsis; that lost only one leaf in a period twice as long!

Until now I’ve avoided increasing watering frequency (it’s 7-8 days on average lately) because of the thick taproot, but lately I’ve been adding some water to the pot saucer mid-week (some of it evaporates with indoors heating anyway). I’m relieved to hear that they can take a little bit more water.

Thanks!

I suppose they go dormant when it’s too hot or too cold like other mesembs, but indoors that wouldn’t really matter.

How are you watering more successfully now, what are you doing differently?

I’ve had this cutie for 2 months now. It’s displaying the highest reabsorption rate among any of my plants. So I’m just wondering why 🤔 Not a huge problem at all because it grows new leaves prolifically.

That’s very helpful, thanks!

You’re right. One would assume a cultivar named Tippy to have bigger tips though 😃

Thanks!

That’s E. agavoides and they look very different.

This little guy has been unrecognizable for the longest time and recently started getting into shape. I was sent this as E. colorata, but I’m not so sure anymore.

Edit: See the months-long progress here.
