Re: A collection of Haworthias to ID

Thanks Teo. 7 and 9 are quite different. wouldn't be 7 reinwardtii and 9 coarctata? Tracking "black gem" I found: Aloe 'black gem', Alworthia 'black gem' (a hybrid between Haworthia cymbiformis & Aloe speciosa) and Haworthia pentagona. It is hard to know for sure, but in my opinion it ...

Re: Mammillaria from AZ

I'm not able to differentiate Mammillaria grahamii/mammillaria microcarpa from Mammillaria mazatlanensis.

Maybe next time it blooms I try a better pic to post here :)

Anyway, the flowers of mine are of different colors.

Mine was recently bought in a supermarket...

Re: So I decided to sow

You should cover the cacti, certainly until they germinate, but keep them out of the sun. You don't want the small seedlings in direct sun anyway. They grow best in warm, bright shade, and high humidity. Maybe that describes your normal weather? Long stems on mesemb seedlings, assuming they really ...
