Are you sure these are old enough to flower already? They look young to me. That is the main problem.. They were store bought and they came in that horrible peat mess, I repotted them ASAP in pure pumice (was that a good idea or should I repot them next year with a bit of plain dirt without peat? l...

Hey there good people, I'm a bit confused about my lithops maybe due to the seasons being a bit strange over here in Portugal, we are having hot days still, 24ºc and the nights have been wet so the dudes have to go inside for the night. How do they look, they look plump and all but still no flowerin...

Well, she's good to go at the moment, seems like she wasn't very fond of perlite, pumice it is!!
Thanks!

O máximo!!!!
Your collection's gorgeous, hope I get something like that going soon for me...

What are you using as your go-to mesemb substrate?

Cheers!!

Haha it's the tribe leader!

Thanks for all the positive feedback, will report back in a week with these dudios!

Update on the little dudes, there's a dark green one at the first photo, on the bottom right'ish, what's up with that dude, he looks different? https://i.imgur.com/7bWZmDT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OTXQEvk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/QaUJ1Ix.jpg The rest of the guys seem to be doing pretty well for a firs...

If the plants are removed from the soil the plants are in shock and don't take up water. Systemic insecticide works by the plant drinking it and becoming to bugs. However, what you did should be effective to kill them Thank you Elie, looking forward to repot them in a week or so, they are my oldest...

If it's inside i'd go ahead and soak the plants (plant and soil) into the full strength systemic solution unless you have plants with waxy coatings. In that case just soak the pot and soil for 10-15 minutes or so. Your plants have to be active to take up the systemic. Dormant plants dont take up an...

Thank you!

Hey there people, I have a question regarding watering my P. nelii, I have 3 in the same pot and 2 don't have any old leaves left but one still got 2 pairs of leaves, the old pair is getting softer each day. I shouldn't water the 2 pairs one but I should water the single pair ones right? Should I re...

I bought a small greenhouse for tropical succulents. The problem with a greenhouse is very high humidity and would recommend using something to remove the excess humidity. I believe that many cactus can survive low temperatures but not with high humidity. I live in a semi arid environment and the d...

Well it's been a tough day as Leslie is passing by, they came home for the night, but yeah, the heavy misting is daily here where I live, all nights are foggy as heck, my Haws loved it tho, my cacti, hmmm, my dad's asterias rot in like 4 days of this misting.. it's a shame, I'm going to buy a shelf ...

They were really drenched, I live like 1km away from the beach, I get them inside for the night for now atleast hehe

Or... I can try to make the shelf into a ghetto greenhouse with some plastic stuff, what do you think?

Thanks!

Hey there guys,

I normally have my cacti outside in my south balcony, but as I live near the sea, now the humidty is very high at night and they wake up a bit on the wet side...

Should I move them inside, to that balcony window or leave them outside?

They are all in a shelf.

Cheers
