Oh gosh, LateBloomer, you do have the right conditions... Although I am happy my C.peruvianus soes *not* grow that fast, I should dearly love to see it bloom. Well, I expect I won't in cold old Germany. :-( N. Late addendum: :D That C.peruvianus did flower last year in cold old Germany. But it dod ...

Hello again, Anttisepp! Hope you & your plants are fine. After looking at loads more pictures I understand what you mean... :-k Well... Just how can I convince #-o the plant to flower...? * On https://www.aloesinwonderland.com/plant-gallery/aloe-ferox I found that an A.ferox likes a nice cool wi...

Hello,
the 2nd plant looks familiar to me. I got one very similar at a conference of the FGaS (Scientific organisation for other succulents) as Anacampseros baeseckei. I would love to trust that name but are still arguing with myself if it might be a A.filamentosa.

Hello everybody, years ago when my plant was very young, we tried to put a name to it & ended up with Aloe ferox. Then many said that it was too young to be named with confidence. So today I try it again as I am really not that secure. When I look at pictures of A.ferox in the net, their plants ...

Hello Perez-Suarez, thank you very, very much for those impressive pictures. I am very impressed: healthy plants, youngsters & oldsters, great variety, interesting gardens, great pictures. For me living in the relatively could Germany, it is always wonderful to see such plants grown outside, in ...

Thanks for the help! If I my ask, mind sharing what happened to yours? Sorry, Lolavy, I wasn't able to come to the forum for quite some time. I got my C.winteri in summer 1999 from a dear friend. In 2016 we renovated our flat & had to cram loads of cacti into one single room "for a fortnig...

Very nice, thank you for the pictures, leland. Incredible for me living in Germany that you drive around & just meet such plants at the roadside.... WOW!

Question: Is it possible that IMG_3747.jpg shows a Wallisia...?

Hello,
my Crassula pyramidalis is flowering! I had never expected such buds & flowers growing out of the end of a twig.
The diameter of the flowers is about 3mm (0.12in).

Hello folks, in July 2021 you helped me to identify a Selenicereus cutling, see https://cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=388634. This year already the Selenicereus coniflorus aka "Conny" is building at least three buds. If will actually flower, I will add pictures here. Can't wait... 8...

Hello folks, everywhere in the world, people are terribly fast-moving & always want everything IMMEDIATELY. It is very relaxing & refreshing to me to read your posts where you discuss without pressure that cacti sown today might flower in ten years time. Hooray! =D> I think I am back to the ...

pulvinata? Hi Anttisepp, I have looked at loads of further Eu.pulvinata. They seem to be very varying, come with loads of leaves or much less so, but they all have common the looks from the top & in 99% or so htey all have seven ribs. I think you were right after all. Oh, and don't miss this fr...

Nice plant, congratters. Cleistocactus winteri?
Years ago I had one quite similar...
