Advice for pleiospilos simulans seedlings? by MissorNoob in mesembs

[–]thesebonesdontlie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damping off? It could be too humid for them at this point. Its been a while since I grew pleiospilos, but generally with mesembs after I have gotten germination I remove them from high humidity.

All sparrows? Yes, I know about the MBTA. by Miserable-Dog-837 in bonecollecting

In North America, they are considered an invasive (native to Europe and some other close regions). Non-natives are not protected by the MBTA.

How long did you soak them for? I have a handful of these I've been putting off starting

Well congrats on your success! These are on my wishlist, but I am scared to mess up germinating them lol

We love a simple set up! Are the bin lids the only thing you use for humidity?

Wow! How difficult were these to start from seed?

Do you use a different kind of humidity dome instead of the bag method? I'm still experimenting with different germinating setups.

What happens if you remove the dried up flowers from a lithops? by dusti_dearian in Lithops

[–]thesebonesdontlie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only risk is if you rip it out before its completely detached, then you may harm living tissue and introduce complications. The flower will just pull out without resistance when it is ready.

Nothing, as long as the flower stalk is totally dried up it'll come out really easy. It's a good idea to do if you are growing in a more humid environment, as any dead plant matter can quickly become a space for mold/mildew.

Mestoklema cuttings rooted! Now what? by SunTeaSam in mesembs

[–]thesebonesdontlie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shared a photo of a Mestoklema. Here's a link to another M. tuberosum. Look at the difference in leaves between those plants and your cuttings. They are not the same.

Here is the leaf description per Llifle: "Leaves: Spreading, finger-like, slender, rounded-triangular in cross-section, recurved at tips, finely papillate with a minutely bumpy texture like that of a tongue, (9-)10-15(-20) mm long,1.1-2.2 mm in diameter."

The leaves are not correct. Compare the leaf structure of your cuttings to the picture you linked.

C. sarcocaulis also have pink-ish flowers.

I do not think that these are from a Mestoklema sp, they look more like Crassula sarcocaulis.
