Re: Under the bench
No apologies required, I've never grown Haworthia before so it's all good information to me

Re: Under the bench
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. I think I will have to keep a good on things as we progress into the growing season. I added some more staging last week into my 10 x 8 greenhouse, done a bit of shuffling of stuff and felt pleased. Until I remembered the tall cacti, the Euphorbia, the less ...

Re: Under the bench
Hi Allan thanks for the reply, this year is the first time I have included Haworthia and Gasteria in my collection. I have noticed that some of them did not like the south facing window ledge so that confirms that they will all spend the summer under the greenhouse top bench.

Under the bench
Having relocated and downsized my new greenhouse, I find myself a bit pushed for top shelf space.
So I'm looking for suggestions of which cacti (mainly) and succulents prefer to spend their summer under the bench or one shelf down.

Re: Identification help
If you can move it over to the window, I know caravans don't often have wide window ledges you could try standing a mirror or even a sheet of mirror acrylic behind it. This would help you maximise the light.
It might be a suitable arrangement when you are not occupying the caravan.

Re: Identity required please
Thanks for the reply, I had a look at images of Aloe juvenna and I think it still looks closer to the Aloe humilis.
I put this down to the greater number of spines on the leaf surface as opposed to bumps.

Re: Identity required please
Thanks for the replies, I had a look at Aloe humilis and at some Gasteraloe images online. Probably not definitive but I think the leaf spikes look more like one of the Aloe humilis images I've seen.

Identity required please
I rescued these two today from our local cactus abusers ( trays inside, poor light bottom shelf etc). I have just this year started getting into non-cacti succulents so I am looking for some assistance in naming these as they are just labelled Aloe. I think one is Gasteria cv 'little warty'. Both in...

Re: Haworthia first aid advice required.
Thanks for the replies and advice, I was unsure about leaving or trimming the roots as thee root loss over the last two weeks was alarming. I will trim and dust with sulfur and as suggested repot it into a mineral substrate. I had suspected it was a hybrid of some kind, the leaves didn't look quite ...
