This came from Trader Joe’s in West Hollywood. It was a tiny plant that became huge. Then it melted down with last year’s rains, but I was able to save some of it. I have slowly trended to a potting soil that is at least 50 inorganic, and even less organic with suicidal plants with no will to live. It never had a label, but it flowers like rebutia, maybe

Today was bath day. These plants have had a couple of overhead drinks since March. A few looked a little deflated, but they should plump up soon. Better to be a little wrinkled than dead! I soaked all the pots in diluted fertilizer bath. Sprayed for mealy bugs and plucked many of them away. The mealy bug battle is never ending! The first variegated Astro is from the very amazing Baker, this is not the biggest of my collection, but those colors!!! 🤣 vessels from .ceramicz

Tylecodon reticulatis. This is a rarely offered plant that showed up on live show from Even as a small plant it is sculptural. I love the fine lacey network of flower stems that increase each year. This one is heading into summer dormancy.

I’m usually crazy busy and don’t get to watch many live shows, but I did enjoy a few shows last week during pool time. I dropped in on Oscar today to pick up a few plants and I noticed one of my favorite growers there with him! good to see you!

BTW, is a great way to see and buy cool unusual plants, but when I visit inperson I always find things on the benches that are collectible.

Blossoms locked and loaded for one of these! Parodia magnifica ball cactus, aka Balloon Cactus. I love the symmetry of this gentle creature.

This amazing twig came to me from the 2025 Intercity Show. Adenia perrieri is a rare succulent that grows in the Tsingy limestone forest of Madagascar. The landscape where this grows is truly unique and beautiful, but not somewhere to go barefoot! My vine was getting a bit lanky, so I thought I might twist and wire it bonsai style. Unfortunately (or fortunately in retrospect) the wood was brittle like celery stalk. So, one plant became two and I rooted the top end. Coco coir and rooting hormone worked well. I used a spray fertilizer that promotes blooms. This resulted in many new stems from the rooted base. I think in a couple of months this will be a very nice little bush. I hope that this treatment mimics the thrashing that happens in nature when a good wind comes along. It will be interesting to see if it gets a caudex.
