I left these to Matelea cyclophylla seedlings together looks nice growing nicely

Adenium arabicum sold As obesum don't look like one

I moved from the protection of a leanto green house to sun till about. 4 o'clock in evening with good results

Pest control has been great thanks to the local insect army

Its been really hot and humid for while now but stuff seems be doing fine

I can sure tell the difference way plants look being in full sun

Makes for alot of watering but some caudex plants are showing great growth

Willis

Pls. continue - you have so many great plants!

I like your outside set-up. What is the mesh for - protecting from what critters?

Thanks Rina the mesh is to keep the yard birds out which has worked really well , just the small ones get through lol

Would have been nice had a top over them few weeks ago , had hail bigger than quarters falling for a bit ,not to much damage at least

My pest problem has really been suppressed not seen white fly few mealies trying to hang on but lady bugs are winning

Willis

I like to keep plants outside too - fresh air, rain water, air movemet, sunshine and definitely many predators. I do not have bug problem outdoors, but mealies will show up occasionally when plants are indoors. Hail and too much rain could be bit of problem - but I think there are more benefits.

Looking forward to some more plant pics :)

Tan, is the bonsai in front right a Trident Maple or some succulent? My eyes can't quite make it out.

Aloe that is plain ole maple I collected from the side of my house back in February it's doing well

Chopped it off did some major root cutting and its now tight in pot

just noticed dragon fly on the Euphorbia poissonii kinda neat

Tan, your plants look great... show us more!

I have most of mine outside, too. I did have root mealies last winter; didn't notice that anything was wrong until spring, when things started coming out of dormancy. Don't know how they arrived, but, just in case ants brought them in, I put lots of ant stakes in various pots this year.

Here couple of to date pics of few of those plants up in thread 4 years have past

These have been doing good also in the sun C hookeri

Your plants are looking great brother! Unfortunately I don't get enough natural light. Too many trees and too wooded around me.

Tan,

your plants look great. I love the set up you have. Thanks for sharing

Sharon

Thanks all its been a ride this season cool wet spring pretty wet first start to summer and now very humid and hot

Isde I have pine trees west of plants and that gives them a break from the heat

Shame you can't set some up in the sun for bigger part of day it really does make a difference

Some pics of back row

Really cool and cozy array, Will. Not sure you can apply the word "rambunctious" on immobile plants but your plants definitely look it. Well-grown!

They look really good!

Is that lvl plank you used for the shelve?

Rina boards are treated decking from home depot cheaper than 2×4 material

Pagan I tried to organize in beginning just piled them on boards and let them have at it all

Hey Willis what's that with the green caudex on the left side of the last picture and the one in front of it?

Excellent. Very nice display and plants.

The green one

Adenia glauca

The other one Euphorbia medusoid hybrid

Some of my Pyrenacantha malvifolia been swamped lately from all the rain been getting

Big one in the middle is in 8 inch pot

These are cool plants and fairly easy to grow ,

Willis

They look so good! I need to get some...

Thanks Rina there nice plants .grow pretty fast for a caudex plant .how ever sometimes they grow slow the one on far right is my 1st plant to have

Maybe it was mentioned up thread somewhere - but did you grow any from the seed? If yes, was it easy or difficult?

No I didn't any of those . I did notice alot of female flowers on them but Havnt seen any male ones on them but maybe one day will be able to grow from my own seed

Hope all is well brother, update time lol
