It was my first attempt at seeds and I failed miserably. Out of 50 seeds I got the large one remaining. The other two came from seeds off my mature williamsii in the big pot.

If you seen my other posts I recently cut a damaged head off one of my L.Diffusa due to cat scratching it to bits here is some puctures. The first is the decapitated loph the top has dried and is scaring over so keep an eye on this thread for updates on new button growth hopefully it will give s few new heads. Then in the second picture you can see the damaged scion which I have decided to try and root in also in the same shot you can see some haworthia pumila cuttings rescued from rotted roots. Again picture updates to follow.
