After 13 years of the most callous neglect, today I repotted my Lithops verruculosa.  I don´t know much about these, but it has grown into a nice clump which flowers every autumn.



The roots were very shallow indeed, so I stood it on fresh compost in a fairly shallow terracotta dish.  The structure when viewed from underneath was very reminiscent of a head of broccoli.  I hope it continues to do well.

A single Lithops plant looks like this



but they have a tendency to grow clumps of individual plants, which is what has happened to mine.  Later in the year I will post a pic of it in flower - if it survives its repot, that is!!

That's a prize winning specimen for sure. They thrive in neglect in your climate, I had no problem keeping them when I lived in the SW US, but they're actually pretty hard to keep alive outside of a Mediterranean climate. :lol: Awesome plant!

LOL, yes, this one is wonderfully ugly.  It took 13 years to grow into that from a single plant.

That is a beautiful collection you have sir. And I never knew about cinnamon to treat rot. I applied some today and we'll see how it goes. I'm always learning from you experts!

Today  repotted my Lithops hookeri - the same age (from 2003) as its compatriot above, but has been rather slower, making a far smaller clump, although it, too, started with a single plant.



I bought others at the same time, and there have been a few casualties.  These come from very dry and sunny areas in South Africa, and you have no real chance of any success with them at all unless you have a sunny climate.  I tried a couple when I was growing in Scotland - never saw a flower and they were short-lived.

Some new arrivals [Re: Spanishfly] * 1
    #23092324 - 04/07/16 03:11 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)

Some new arrivals, from a nursery in Germany.  They all arrived in good shape, with spines in good order, but were all totally pot-bound in the tiniest plastic pots.  First job was a complete repot into terracotta pots and my standard Mexican desert cactus mix.



They are - Turbinicarpus schwarzii, Epithelantha micromeris - that one has a pup, I think unusual for this species - and was a freebie from the supplier.  Thelocactus lausseri, Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus, and Aztekium ritteri - that last a tiny (but expensive) specimen on its own roots.  Maybe I am being a bit optimistic buying that at my age.

Although from a professional nursery, they will still be going into quarantine for a while just to ensure no pests are around.  And they will be gently acclimated to the brighter sun they will be getting.

Astro repotted [Re: Spanishfly]
    #23112413 - 04/13/16 04:48 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)



Today I repotted my somewhat battered looking Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum var. quadricostata, started from seed I traded in 2013.  Has grown rather slowly for an Astrophytum - that is a 4" pot. 
Developed a pronounced growth line a couple of winters back which is still prominent. 
Has yet to flower, and I will be interested to see how long it retains four ribs - they tend to revert to the more usual five rib form in time.
Commonly called the bishop´s cap cactus - the four ribs resembling a bishop´s mitre.

As they say, NEVER say die !!! 
Just over a year ago I got some seeds of Cumarinia odorata - a rarely grown monotypic genus.  Just a few, and I sowed them in a small pot.  After some months nothing had happened, so I put that pot to one side - needed the lighting space.  Yesterday I decided to recycle that pot and found 3 little sprouts - sitting in dust dry soil.  So I gave them some sorely needed water and put that pot under the fluoros again - it will stay there until the spring.
So don´t be too quick to give up on your seeds - they just might be a bit slow.




Following on from the above, in the last 4 months the sprouts have done very well, and today I potted on the largest - it was looking very much like a miniature adult, and just starting to produce hooked central spines.
Here it is in a 6cm pot - it will stay under fluoros for a week, before being gradually introduced to the sun.

All very beautiful fly. I especially love the small aztekium. I need to really grow that again. And on its own roots. Awesome brother. And youre never too old to buy anything. Legacy ftw. :awethumb:

Some repots [Re: ferrel_human]
    #23120239 - 04/15/16 09:53 AM (7 years, 9 months ago)

Kind of you to say so, ferrel.

In 2014 I bought a couple of rare species on evilBay - both Toumeya papyracantha, one being a cristata - both were grafted, this species being tricky on its own roots outside habitat. 
I had to bid some pretty stiff prices, and was a bit miffed when both plants arrived with hardly any root.  I put them in some 8cm pots and hoped for the best - nothing much visible happened for the next 18 months. 

Today I unpotted them and was very pleased to find two pots stuffed full of roots - so they have gone up a size into 10 cm pots - maybe I will now see some above ground action in the coming season.



Also repotted a Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp. hintonii - this one seeded itself - amazing how they do that.  Flowered for the first time last year.

My pair of Geohintonia mexicana were sharing a pot, but it was getting a bit cramped - there were also some Pelecyphora strobiliformis seedlings hitching a ride - those grow like weeds in these parts.



A lot more room to grow now!

I have had these about 6 years - when I put them in the same pot there was ample room, so they have about doubled their diameter.  Good luck with yours, P.Zap.

Today I got all the Lophophora williamsii together for a group pic.



I counted 42 individuals in all.
