Could this be...

10 years ago

Good evening, I bought this plant (my first one) about 3 months ago. I potted it up to a 6" pot following Ricks advice, and has been outdoors for 2 months, now it resides in my grow room because of cooler weather. I have noticed new leaves growing all summer and now something looks different, could this be the start of flower buds?

Thanks for looking, Joe

This is definitely an Obesum. Great looking plant, too! Looks very similar to one of mine.

Hi Joe. I'm a newbie and will leave it to the experts to answer your question. Just wanted to comment on the leaves of your plant. So glossy and healthy looking. Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the entire plant?

Thanks,

Tyler

I believe Dain's right. I have several that have never bloomed that look the same.

Tyler, as per your request...some pix of the entire plant. The last one was 2 months ago after potting up.

Enjoy, Joe

A beauty. Thank you. Ummm.....arabacum? It looks too thick at the bottom (to me) to be an obesum... I'm still learning.

Tyler, I really don,t know what species it is, got it at a local garden center. If it had a label at all, it read was Desert Rose-Succulent. This is what the roots looked like when I potted up.
