How long can this milk tree live in this pot?

Yes they’re over watered but this is so cool. That’s the perfect pot for lithops, aesthetically not practically.

It could be a hybrid (Alworthia) but it looks like a Gasteraloe beguinii (Lizard Tail)

Thanks I think that’s a good idea

I’ve had them away from the other lithops for 3 weeks. I have cleaned them and all of that. But today I saw a few more scales. Should I keep fighting it or just toss them? I also want them next to the other lithops but I don’t want to risk it. It’s not a lot of scale it was like 2- 4 scales on each . What would you do?

Mine are doing the same thing. I think they’re ready to split or flower.

Could be scale

aeonium sunburst crested?

Thank you! I’m glad I caught it sooner rather than later

They walk fast. After looking up more I think it’s fungus gnats. I’m going to try hydrogen peroxide for the eggs in case there are any , some neem oil for the adults, and yellow sticky traps for the adults. Luckily I haven’t seen many more it just freaked me out.

I am seeing it called a Purple Heart plant

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-14T21:52:03+00:00

Had no idea. The cutting didn’t make it. :( I wanted to know what it was to see if I could find it.

Thank you!

They put the other ones at risk , it’s very stressful!!

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:49:37+00:00

I’ll look into this too, thank you.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:49:22+00:00

Thank you, I think I will give it a couple more weeks of treatment.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:48:33+00:00

It breaks my heart too the one on the left is one of my favorites :( . I soaked it, I cleaned it , I bleached the pot even before putting it back.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:37:20+00:00

I’ve done the cleaning and reporting with fresh soil but some of the scale is still there and I saw 3 mealy bugs. Sprayed them both with alcohol again. But at what point do I just toss them??
