I've been renovating...

Post by melodies »

The succulent bed, as of today. I have a flower on the O. humfiusa, with either a messload of new pads or more flowers on the way. Everything seems to be surviving and most things are thriving. I had no winter losses, but damage on the Aloe vera and Sansevieria trifasciata. The Aloe has mostly outgrown all damage, the Sansevieria I think is busy growing new roots so I just cut all the toasted leaves off after the last freeze.

This summer's additions are the Pachycereus marginatus, Mammilaria gracilis fragilis and Oreocerus trollii.

Good luck with the Opuntia humifusa - that thing is a WEED in NJ. I started with a clump in a raised bed & it crawled down the side & across the slate patio. You have to keep it mowed or it will spread into the lawn. Sue
