Default My succulents (pics!)

I like succulents. My aloe is a pup from one my mother gave me, which in turn came from one belonging to her grandmother, so it's been in the family for a long time, and I've had it for about 15 years, since I was in high school.

The rest of my collection is more recent!

The aloe vera:


Pleiospilos nelii


Adenium obesum


Haworthia tesselata


Titanopsis calcarea (I'm not actually certain of the ID on this one)


Fenestraria rhodalophylla


Ledebouria socialis


And I already shared my lithops so far over in the lithops area.

I've split some pups off of the haworthia, I'm hoping that they'll thrive. Once they're nicely rooted I will probably offer some up for trade.

Aloe vera and adenium can be found commonly in Malaysia. But I've never seen those other succulents. Beautiful plants.

Thanks!

I think aloe vera is just about everywhere now. They are incredibly hardy plants. Mine has survived a whole lot of things that should have killed it.

Yes it is!

I didn't post any lithops here though. Just the pleiospilos, which is related, but not quite the same thing. It gets much bigger.

Do you grow lithops? I love them but it is diffuclt to find cultivation info. Would be great if there is someone to ask.

I do grow lithops, I posted one over in the lithops area. I'm still a relative newbie to them though, I haven't been growing them that long.
