Pick the biggest couple and then leave the rest to see if they get bigger and be prompt in cutting the rest off at the first sign of the stem drying o...

I don't know if Pelargonium are released explosively like Geranium and Sodium but if they are make sure you catch them before they're fired all over your greenhouse or snip the tip of the rostrum off as it develops to stop them being f...

I have a few x Semponium and they do appear to be expressing more Aeonium genes than Sempervivum ones in how they grow and their hardiness. If anything I've found them more sensitive over winter than most Aeonium. It's almost like they want more water than Aeonium and to grow more at cooler temperat...

Good to have you back on here Colin. I look forward to reading your article. As a splitter by nature these new groups make sense to me so will be interesting to read your thoughts.
