Thanks, Notrecruiting!


Wow you're lucky Mitchel....my neighbor's steal my plants and yours give you them!


That really is a gorgeous and stunning plant. Have you ever tried to root one of the leaves into another plant? (hint hint )

I get the feeling it wouldn't work cause they are very thin. I think to clone it you would have to cut off part of the plant.

Smile Re: Succulents & Cacti...
You wouldn't want to cut any of it off...it's just too beautiful.


I love how black/maroon it is. Very special indeed.


I'm after some new succulents this season and want an echeveria called "black pearl" & also one called "Perle von Numberg".

Huh? I posted 3 pics of the maroon colored plant at the same time. Maybe one didn't load when you first looked?

That must be what happened...I didn't see the top pick. Just the shots of the stem growing upward and the side shot of the flowers.....so how tall is it?

With the small pot it's in somewhere between 3-4 feet tall I guess.

Joy Re: Succulents & Cacti...
3 to 4 feet tall?! WoW!


JaNan, here are the 'Leopard Spots' mother of a thousand cuttings now! Just look at how much they've grown...





Actually I think it was only one cutting but it has spread!


The plant must turn green in winter like most do, but color back up come Spring? I love the little babies that grow off the leaves. So cute.


Sure is amazing how much it's grown throughout January.

Yes, Sherry that looks great! That plant of Mitchel's is really a knockout - that color contrast between the bloom and the plant is very striking! ~J

Joy Re: Succulents & Cacti...
I know JaNan, I've never seen anything like it anywhere! I couldn't believe it when Mitchel first posted the shot.

I'm hoping to get my paws on some special echeverias and other succulents this season...although I already feel like I have some very special ones from you. Whatever ones I get, I'm willing to share too.


I think you said this one is called "morning lights" JaNan, and the two pieces you sent are taking off for me now...

Now let's see ... what kinds of edible Succulents & Cacti are we all growing?

The Dragon Fruit is of course one, and we have a thread for that.

I'm sure many people are growing Nopales, aka Prickly Pear, or Mission Tuna.

Probably many people have Purslane growing as a weed -- perhaps a few are growing it purposely as vegetable?

And what about Cuban Oregano?

That cuban oregano looks pretty cool.

I am after super bright and colorful succulents this season for ornamental value. I'm growing several kinds of dragon fruit however.

I have that really pink one you have, too. Do you know it's name?

Unfortunately not, many are sold without a tag.

The really blue one in the 2nd pic is Echeveria Lauii

Joy Re: Succulents & Cacti...
Woops, sorry Ron...I think I referred to it as white instead of blue, in your picture album!

It sure is a beauty, along with the rest of them.

I guess this pic could go here too. These 'string of pearl' cuttings are taking off like crazy this Winter...




I think I might be giving them to JaNan, in Spring.

Richard, the only edible cactus/succulent I'm growing is my Opuntia humifusa. The problem is it's in my front bed next to the street and the deer get to the fruit before I do!
