Older generations of "grow lights" consisted mainly of red and blue diodes producing unnatural-looking pink to violet light. Modern LED grow lights produce much more balanced spectrum.

Re: Help my pelecephoria
She is very enthusiastic and hopes you are having an amazing day! I knew whom are you talking about the moment I read that phrase! :lol: Still, in the case of old P. strobiliformis I'd go with Mike's advice. I had similar case with old S. disciformis (35+ years old). It took almost two years to roo...

Re: bifurcate areole
MrXeric,
thank you for an excellent post and heaps of new (to me) and useful information. I have difficulty thinking of Pelecyphora and Escobaria as a members of single genus, though.
Best regards,
Nino

Re: Sempervivum transplanting
In my experience Sempervivums are almost impossible to kill, so either approach will work. Please note that I've never kept any of the "fancy" cultivars, just the "regular" species. Cultivars might be a bit more sensitive.

Re: bifurcate areole
Many thanks Nino_G, I was looking far too close to the spiny areole! As a non-specialist, forgive me but I'll think of them as separate areoles when looking for them from now on... So, big question, if I see spiral tubercules=mammaries each with two areoles, the top one having a white furry 'cover'...

Re: bifurcate areole
Yes, but they are two parts of the same areole, one part on the tip and other part at the base of the tubercle.

Re: bifurcate areole
Bifurcation in this case means that the areoles are split between the tip of the tubercle (from where spines usually grow) and the space between tubercles (from where flowers, and sometimes offsets, appear).

Re: Some of my seedlings
Escobaria minima germinated really well (seeds sown on Christmas 2023).
