Cacti and Succulents

@joolz68 your plants are Sempervivums, the shoots are offsets. The fllowers come from the centre of the rosettes, and the rosette will die after it flowers, but the offsets can be potted on.@Grandma Sue, the flower stalks on your Echeverias will lengthen but will still bend over at the top...

Another way I do it is to not actually water after the first watering but spray a couple of times a day. Everyone has their own way that works best for them, just avoid it staying wet for long periods as it will rot.

Amazing piece of really useful information, Pete. Hope you succeed in saving the Jade plant and/or reproducing it, Please-help-my-plants. Send some pics if you are successful

Thanks everyone

Thanks @ricky101 I'll go through your post and see what I can find.Yes I've read you can be talking 2 or 3 years before you can even start to think about repotting. Looks like you had a great collection @pete some lovely photos on the post of @ricky101 . Thanks for the help

It just shows a lack of concentration and cactus knowledge.

There were lots of landslides there and the area became dangerous. There isn't much left there now.

Nice collection Michael, good idea, to move them out for the summer.

Just realised I put this on the end of another thread.

Hi @43576 Michael’s I.D. looks spot on to me

That is a beautiful plant!

All I can say is, if you will root cuttings at totally the wrong time of the year. You deserve all you get.

Wow that’s amazing Pete, it’ll love a repot in spring, nice one mate

I don't mind

Thanks very much @Lem, I went to Aldi today and nearly bought the exactly same Sedum just because of your thread even though I'm apparently not allowed to buy another succulent Anyways, two four-packs of Cyclamen came home with us.

That's very kind, thank you

@flounder thanks, there’s always room for a cactus flounder, ferocactus & Trithrinax used as guard dogs, now your talking, just remember where you place them, because they’re not fussy who they bite

Thanks again Michael you’ve been a great help

I believe it is Mammillaria elegans. I may sow the seeds if they ripen but I have never has any success with cactus seeds. We'll see what happens

I got my original one in 1965 but now I only have a cutting of a cutting of a cutting
