Re: P asselliformis

Phenomenal! I'm just waiting on the delivery of a small one of these. Such a great species, and genus.

Re: May 2024 - pots matching plants, or plants matching pots

This year I'm moving from plastic to ceramic. Here's a small snapshot from the greenhouse this afternoon.

Love those bonsai trees.

Here's an astrophytum capricorne to get things started.

Re: Euphorbia makeover

The plant is awesome! And is that a TB Bonsai pot you've used?

Re: Smaller agaves (and their hardiness)

Thanks for this, Paul. Size wise I'm talking 30-40cm diameter or less. I really like the ones with tight rosettes with the wide leaves over the longer, strappy leaves.

Smaller agaves (and their hardiness)

I'm wanting to add a smaller agave to my outdoor bed and am looking for suggestions? I like the look of a. potatorum but have read conflicting reports as to its hardiness. Any tips?

Re: Habitat-style staging

What other rock types available in the UK might be worth trying? I'd really like to plant an aztekium vertically in some gypsum.
