The Growing Leaves

Just a woman who loves her succulents and takes pictures of them as they grow.

Another cool example of succulent hybrids I made. Notice how each parent plant passes on a trait down to the new hybrid (the Debbies pink color and the Topsy Turvys oblong curled leaves) by hunterprk

This is really cool! How do you breed your succulents? Do you wait for them to flower and cross pollinate them with a brush?

Herbert just won't stop flowering! Even with flower spike number two on the way

Wow that’s a beautiful plant.

Senecio stapeliiformis, aka Pickle Cactus

Apparently I have a thing for succulents that look vaguely like cacti.

Someone has been very busy! (Pinguicula X sp.)

Feeding time seems to be when I water things because it disturbs the soil and causes them to take flight. :P

I want one so badly! Can I ask where you got yours?

I really wanted a dragon fruit cactus, so much so that I was going to try growing one from seed. Unfortunately, dragon fruit are no guarantee in English markets/supermarkets so I thought I was out of luck when I found this guy in a small garden centre! He was the only one there and he was in a right state when I found him, very dry and leggy. I bought him anyway and I'm going to try my best to grow him. So any tips on dragon fruit cacti would be really appreciated!!

[the-growing-leaves]

I have been growing them from seed for months and they are still in their embryonic stages. I'm not sure why. But hopefully in A few years they'll get to that level.
