Thanks, that's one of the plants that's confusing me a bit, it's growing a few leaves and a couple of flowers each year but the actual growth has been minimal for the 3 years I've had it. Last growing season was the worst, it grew 2-3 leaves all year. I think I'm keeping it too dry.

Thanks Ralph. I bought it as H pendula, but I think the seller was confused and it's in fact pendurata. The stems are a little too pointy for pendula, I think; also the petals are rolling back now and from a different angle it looks more like what it is in reality, bristles and all.

Or maybe last flower of the season that ended? My first stap flower since a O variegata did me the honor back when I was in my early teens, so either way, I'll take it!

OK, I guess I'll wait and see how they develop, then
Thanks.

I'm having a bit of a potential problem with basically all my Dinteranthus, which seem to be slowly deflating at the base. The picture isn't great, but it illustrates the problem.

Thanks JonNo - mine is definitely not sun bleached, it started getting yellow during the cold season. Probably the lack of fertilizer is what caused my issue, I remember it bloomed twice after I moved it to the JI mix and probably exhausted itself. Thanks for your thoughts guys, I'm curious to see i...

The dark yellow spots are glossy and look like I could peel them off with my fingernail, but I haven't tried. The temperature in the shed went down to -1 for a couple nights only, the rest of the time stayed on the positive side. The info I found on this species is that it can withstand down to -7, ...

Thanks guys, I repotted it yesterday and will keep an eye on it.

One of my E subdenudata is turning yellow at the moment, in a way I haven't seen before. It may be a gonner but I'm trying to understand why this happened and what causes it. It's been kept in a shed with a window, at pretty high air humidity (80-95%), but dry substrate, since November last year, al...

Here's what the terricolor pair looks like now. Surprise surprise looks like they cooked another pair of leaves during the winter. I got myself stacked leaves on a lithops despite not watering it since September. I know the oldest leaves will dry off soon, but I wonder how I'm going to get rid of th...
