^^^ I agree, looks like H. cooperi variant. Hello, Haworthiopsis fasciata buddy. I am guessing the other one is a Kalanchoe of some kind? Succ facts: Haworthiopsis and Haworthia genera are closely related, both having chonky root systems that can break small ceramic pots. One thing that distinguishes Haworthias is that they all have leaf "windows," which "seem to represent a trade-off between photosynthesis and overheating." (source) Here's my Haworthiopsis koelmaniorum. Note the chonky roots.  And here is a nice Haworthia 'Chocolate' with its top and side windows.

The cact in OP is Stenocactus lamellosus (formerly known as Echinofossulocactus lamellosus). They are not rare - you too can have one for ~$10 from Etsy or maybe even your local nursery. Speaking of brain-whorl guys, here's my Echeveria "Sea Dragon" mutant:  My partner made some nice purple dye from its old leaves. pokie fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 6, 2021 |

I have a jade plant that started as a small cutting I got in high school. After a few rough years, the growth exploded despite frequent pruning and my house is now a humid jungle. Send help.

he;lp recent pics   flowering this spring  i bought this at home depot in 2009 and it's maybe two feet tall from the concrete now. the pot is starting to break apart, but how do i re-pot this thing? how big should i expect it to get? you can see i chopped the main stalk about two years ago after it split from too much rain. it was the best-faring of my plants in several ice storms which i've found surprising

i say swears online posted:he;lp It looks like this to me: http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/Family/Cactaceae/14697/Parodia_leninghausii Site says that Parodia leninghausii gets to ~1 yard/meter tall. Under the cultivation section it says "Repotting should be done every other year or every three years, annual potting is not necessary. Do not be tempted to over pot as this will cause the unused compost to go stagnant and you may loose the plant." I think the pot size is ok. May be slightly larger would be good? Just make sure to get soil that has a large percentage (33-50%) of minerals (not sand) like perlite or pumice or chicken grit. I would use an old towel and thick gloves for moving it out. Take a metal stick and stir the soil to loosen the plant. If it's not particularly heavy you can lay a towel on the porch, tip the pot on its side and try to work it out by pushing on thee bottom of the pot. If you are not planning to reuse the plastic pot you can just cut it too. Fill the new pot about 2/3 of the way with a bit of a hole in the middle, lower the cactus down. If you have a helper have one person keep it upright while the other one pours the soil mix in.

the pics don't show it but the container is splitting along the side and bottom, it's time to re-pot. i think i did it last four years agoHerstory Begins Now posted:some cacti are impressively cold tolerant, eg the eastern prickly pear (an opuntia) ranges up into ontario canada a lot of the prickly pear in texas died in february, our last cold blast was the longest time below freezing on the books. my dude lived his early life in the same pot with a red cactus that died in an ice storm in 2013 but he keeps plugging along. i should just put him in the ground.

y'all are real loving cute       (the little leggy weirdo in the upper right was purchased for its flowers and its kids, I'm not that bad at cacti, I swear)    (I lied, I am that bad at cacti, those etiolated-rear end opuntias are super embarassing. I let them go out of curiosity but I really, seriously, have to cut those lobes off and try propagating them. The bottom plants aren't growing any "normal" lobes like I hoped, so the tall pieces have to go to reset them)

I picked them up at 1/2 price in like April or May and they already had those long pads, but they were small and thin, only a couple of inches. I figured they’d either fatten/round up or more pads would pop up around them. I put ‘em outside but the pads just kept getting longer and eventually fatter and I just kept wanting to see where it would go. In hindsight I kinda regret that choice because there’s clearly a lot of wasted biomass and growth in those pads.

Ok Comboomer posted:I’m super curious to see how this outdoor succ garden pans out for you in New England Yeah, me too. The soil is all pretty heavily amended (half of them are in a bed that's raised in stone) and the succs are mostly hardy to 4 or 5 so fingers crossed. Most of them are from that place I linked in Colorado that grows them outdoors which I imagine gives them a much better shot than stuff reared in a California/Florida greenhouse. pokie posted:Yes, we're. That's a giant part of the appeal of succ keeping - the cute awkward plants. I put in a decent sized Yucca rostrata cv. Sapphire Skies last year that seems like it's now getting big enough to start getting taller and I can't loving wait. I want a massive faxoniana or an elata but I don't have anywhere to put them

Just dig a hole, pop 'em in, and then maybe rake some gravel over them to complete the look

The biggest risk is mostly at the tail end of winter when we get cycles of snow/melt on top of plants that are still dormant. I didn't have any cacti in last year but I did have a bunch of succulents that all wintered over fine, including a handful of Yucca (that rostrata, a large filamentosa, and a baccata), some Hesperaloe, a few ostensibly marginal Orostachys, and a bunch of the crap that can survive drat near anywhere (Sempervivum, Sedum, Phedimus, Delosperma, Hylotelephium).

i say swears online posted:do they die after that like agave? that's cool if they do that multiple times The stalks die, yeah. Fortunately they last a while, usually til fall. Happy honeybees and bumblers. Hen and chicks expand, make new stalk next year. Previous homeowners made some really bad choices in plants around the yard, but lots of hen and chicks was the one good one.
