Re: Could the maximum image size be raised?
Increasing image size would make it easier to post pictures. It is a bit of a chore to resize and then post.

Sempervivum transplanting
How should I be treating Sempervivum pups when transplanting? Should I treat them like a cactus and let them dry out, pot in dry potting mix, wait a few days before watering? Or, should I treat them like any other plant? Like, dig out with a bit of a rootball and transplant immediately into slightly...

Re: Moorten Botanical Garden is still opened
Hey George, I just saw I posted these same photo's last year in a different post of yours. My apologies. I didn't remember I did it. Still trying to figure out how to grow these plants. I have begun keeping my plants in the same Eastern exposure my Malagasy Euphorbia get. Full sun until 1 pm, then s...

Re: Moorten Botanical Garden is still opened
Question on the Leuchtenbergia, if you know- The tubercles on your photo are all green out to the tips. Mine die off at the tips. Am I not giving it enough water? I've been growing my two since 2009 and one even flowered last year. But I'm not happy with them. Repotted April 2021 so here are bare ro...

Re: Moorten Botanical Garden is still opened
Those hummingbird nests are so well camouflaged, I could only spot the one in the Opuntia because of the black beak! Using your hint I went back and looked again and found it. It was right in front of my eyes, but I never saw it. I was looking at the dark patches thinking they might be cavities and...

Re: Post winter watering
I brought my cacti and succulents that stay indoors all winter in the heated house outdoors for a few days last week and early this week. Getting them acclimated to full sun. They've been watered lightly all winter. I've given them full soaks and fertilizer twice now. Brought them indoors yesterday ...

Re: Post winter watering
Last week had three days in the mid to high 60's and really sunny. I misted all of my cacti that had not been watered since October or so. I kick myself for not taking before photos, because I can't tell for sure if plants reacted or not. But a few Echinocereus, Sulcorebutia arenacea, and my Lophoph...

Re: Post winter watering
I spray to give just a little bit of water. I have dribbled some on plants as well. This is only for the very first waterings when it is still not reliably above 50F during the day and for sure not above 50 F at night. Once they are growing, I give them solid soakings every time I water. All next we...

Sedum?
Here's another pretty common plant, I think. I don't remember where I got it. It may have come along as a hitchhiker on some succulents I bought maybe 10 years ago. It is outdoor winter hardy in my cold/wet winter areas. I've been growing it in shallow pots. I have been looking at photo's online and...

Re: Post winter watering
I usually spray my plants a few times before watering for the first time of the season. I have cacti that are kept cold and dry in my garage over winter. They can see temps below 0F. They are outside now for over a month on days where it is not raining. Temps are still able to get to freezing still ...

Re: (Sowing) Where do you put the organic part in a pot: on top, in the middle or at the bottom?
It sounds like you are thinking of making layers in your pot. That is not correct. You need to mix your potting mix thoroughly.
