Monilaria moniliformis aka the Bunny Ear succulent. This is a very mature specimen acquired from Solomon at the meeting Tuesday. Solomon and Chris gave a great talk on how to hybridize and grow succulents including and species. Solomon gave me some great tips on growing Tylecodon singularis. These meetings are a great place to learn and discover from other growers who cumulatively bring hundreds of years of experience to each meeting.

Cacti come in so many shapes and colors. This Echinopsis cv chocolate is perfectly happy with minimal water and bright filtered sunlight. I keep it in my loft bathroom window. The same light completely scorched by gymnocalycium transformer. I love gymnocalycium plants but they can be temperamental when it comes to water and light.

When I started raising amaryllis bulbs I didn’t know that they were African succulents. This bulb must be 10 years old. It started as a single bulb in one pot. Today I separated the bulbs into 4 plants. This largest bulb is the mother plant. In theory it is possible to grow multiple new plants from a single bulb by dividing the base of the bulb with a sharp clean knife. The cleaved segments are spread apart. Chopsticks are perfect for this and generally highly useful when killing weeds and transplanting cacti. I dusted with sulfur powder to avoid fungal growth. I set it in cactus soil with pumice and perlite. It’s actually a miracle that all the bulbs didn’t rot. I had them on drip watering and regular potting mix. They were perfectly happy! I’ll know in a few months if this worked.

New arrival from !!! Astrophytum myriostigma kikko nudum. I love the tubercles on this monster. It is a huge muscular beast. I’m sure it has a sensitive side. We will see when it flowers again. Baker pollinated this flower, so I can’t wait for these seeds.

Othonna herrerii x cacaloides. It was a much nicer plant when purchased on USPS sent it from Long Beach to San Diego, to Austin Tx, then Avondale Az to Los Angeles. I’m absolutely disgusted and disappointed with a shipping service that is so fantastically inefficient and oblivious to the fact that the cargo is slowly dying as they ping pong across inappropriate destinations. Fingers crossed that it will push out new leafs.
