    One more...gasteria?

    #3

  • 11 years ago

    This Gasteria is close to Gasteria carinata verucosa.

    Thank you Harry.

    What is the difference between Gasteria carinata verucosa and Gasteria pillansii? Is it the texture of the dots/tubercles?

    Here is mine, which looks quite close to Rina's:

    Would have posted a top-down shot, but it's too dark outside for photos!

    They look very similar (where did you find it? Mine was at grocery store! with a very thin grey plastic cache pot...)

    Pretty sure they are the same species. I got mine at a small family owned greenhouse. Based on some of the tags, it seems like they get most their succulents from Colasanti's in Kingsville (like nearly all garden centers/greenhouses/nurseries in the Toronto area).

    Aloe? Gasteraloe? Or..?

    Rina

  • 11 years ago

    ok wait a minute..! Where are you acquiring these little beauties? I don't come across the h. limifolia very often.

    Surprise...found it in Home Depot where I never shop...(well, maybe once a year?)

    Does anyone knows what #4 is?

    And here is #5: (maybe Aloe Walmsley's bronze' variegated? - or A. Black Gem?)

    TIA. Rina

    I don't care what it is. I MUST have one!

    Gosh, that's a beauty. MY HD store has cr*p.

  • 11 years ago

    There was only one there. I would have snapped few more if they had any - cashier said they got them some time ago so I was really surprised that it was in pretty good shape.

    4. = x Gasteraloe "Flow"

    Harry

  • 11 years ago

    Rina- at least now when you start building your greenhouse it will already be well-stocked : )

  • 11 years ago

    #4 I agree with Harry. But it still bugs me that a very similar plant is labelled Aloe aristata at Ikea (spotted July 23, 2015):

    #5 I think is closer to Aloe "Walmsley's Bronze" variegated than Aloe "Black Gem". The latter just don't seem have to have quite so pronounced variegation as yours.

  • 11 years ago

    Yes, a black gem. I could not remind.

    Never flowering as far as I know. Dull plant, I think, but this one seems variegated: that helps to apreciate.

    Harry

    The Aloe aristata is different from xG. "Flow". Easy to recognise: aristata ends with hairs on top.

    see picture. 'Flow' is much wider.

    There was a larger one available with a flower stalk starting to grow- it is much more open as you pointed out Harry:

    Nice plants Rina ^^
    E. pulidonis is my first succulent and will always have a special place in my heart slash on my windowsill. This is how it looked in late June, it grew a bit taller this summer

    Close up

    I always wanted a H. limifolia, but I want to find a variegated one that is somewhat affordable... they're usually super expensive here :(

    Thank you. Your E. pulidonis is beautiful, no marks on it and beautiful red edge. And great photo too.

    few more today (not so great photo!) and they were labelled:

    #6: Euphorbia mammillaris variegata (palest green, looks white in spots)

    #7: Euphorbia anoplia (Tanzanian zipper plant) - has more babies on other side; I hope the corking is typical?

    #8: Euphorbia spiralis (very little spiraling visible on 2 of them)

    They all must have bloomed earlier since each has some dried up flower stalks.

    If these names are incorrect, I would appreciate corrections, and any comments are welcomed.

    Young girl watering plants let me have this little fallen piece of Titanopsis calcera (I think?) - what to do with it? (that was after I gave her a lecture why succulents shouldn't be sopping wet - maybe she wanted to get rid of me?)

    Hi Rina,

    :) maybe she was glad to learn something?

    1. Is correct and has 'flowers' like this

    2. I have doubts. This is mine (some years ago - larger now)


    3. No comment; unknown here.

    4. The Titanopsis: a sandy mix, light, no sun and a regular spray.

    I don't find them very easy to restart.

    greets

    Thank you again. And I like your positive remark...the girl was really nice, btw. Maybe she did appreciate what I told her - genuinely didn't sound like she was ever told.

    I don't expect too much from the titanopsis, it's such a small piece, no visible roots. We will see.

    Rina
