Re: Propagation question ... Conophytum herrei
Zero to very little chance of rooting conos at this time of year. They have no vigor at all to do so as they as starting the dormant period for spring & summer. If large enough it may sit there and sheath until the end of summer when it may well root, but if too small they invariably dry up befo...

Re: Habitat plant?
I’ve already had an article about poaching published in the MSG Bulletin. I’ve lately expanded on it significantly and that will be published in the June issue of the German journal ‘Avonia’. I’d be happy to share info and images with anyone who would like to contact me.

Re: Habitat plant?
With experience it's sometimes easy to recognise recently imported wild Conophytums, e.g. epidermal scarring and years of old sheaths. But it's also often difficult to impossible to be sure when they've had a year or more in cultivation to acclimatise and/or been broken up to root cuttings. With the...

Re: My avonia quinaria won’t root and it’s been almost a year. Please send help
You've bought a plant which has been poached from habitat. It's a CITES protected species which has been illegally taken in their many thousands over the last few years.

Re: Small conophytum behaviour
Such a small plant may well be dead......try to carefully remove the old dry sheath to see what's inside. We've had a few discussions on Facebook groups where growers have lost conos during this last hot summer.
