Definitely contagious, I kind of blame you guys lol. If your plants didn't look so good, I probably wouldn't have the itch.

Yeah I know how you feel if I didn't look here and search there, I wouldn't be near as deep into the hobby lol

but got to pass the time somehow

My C hookeri did pretty good this year this one did better than the others

Happy with growth in pots this year lots of sun and water

My biggest right at 3 inch caudex

And some aloebot seedlings that need there own pot

Can't get all pics to load maybe later

Does anybody know why the leaves on my Fokea have yellow dots on them. It happened slowly one by one. Sorry the pic is upside down. A new thing for Houzz.

Is something tiny nibbling on it? Petopentia?

Check it for spidermites, I got rid of my petopentia because they're magnets for mites and prone to outbreaks.

Euphorbia Japonica (bupleurifolia x susannae)

Just bought a Cyphostemma betiforme and an Euphorbia knuthii. I really need to stop buying plants. This is an expensive addiction :-(

I second that

This is the best my Ficus has looked since I've had it. I have it planted over a rock and then covered in my usual mix. It was in my raised bed for the life of my bed and never was happy. It gets less intense sun now. I guess that is the difference.

Aloe that one is looking nice good color on caudex and leaves look good. I give mine lots of water during growing season they love it

And they are getting full sun half a day or little more

this one has made some good root growth this year got to do some big chops and repot before next

Uncarina Grandidieri, probably due for a repot but that won't be until next spring.

Isde did you grow from seed

Not this one Willis. I have other uncarina that I've grown from seed but couldn't find seeds for this species so I bought a small one.

Looks good to me

My Jatropha cathartica is getting flowers...

And here are my new Cyphostemma betiforme and Euphorbia knuthii...

Dont post much to this thread but Wendy's plants caught my eye....

Jatropha cathartica (berlandieri) mine didn't flower this year! In fact they barely grew!

Sampling of other caudex plants hanging out this fall.

The WEED!!!

Howard, I love those Euphorbias! Here are a couple of mine. Both were bought from Aridlands as E. persistens. The first one definitely looks like persistens, but the second one??? Is there that much variability within the species?

I think sometimes the people who pull plants to fill orders don't know one plant from another. I have had the same issue with plants I've received from Aridlands. All three ofd these are from Aridlands.

Are all three of those supposed to be persistens, too?

Dog, your E. persistens #2 looks to have some E. tortirama in it. Your E. knuthii is killing me. I have been trying for years (over 20) to find a seed grown one with a single caudex.

Can't post probably, any one have a proper link so I can post with any problem.. thanks in advance

Stephania Nova

Yes Wendy. They are all the same. The other thing I’ve noticed with Aridlands is when ordering multiples of the same plant, size will vary greatly.

Howard, I've noticed the same thing. Either persistens has a great deal of variation, or they've been grown from hybrid seed.

Aloebot, I have a small tortirama, and I have thought that my persistens #2 does look a bit like it. I got the knuthii recently from Out of Africa.

Loh Yee Chang, I love the new leaf on your Stephania, such a great shade of red.

While I am not absolutely positive, I don’t believe knuthii is one of the few self pollinating Euphorbia. so I will assume these maturing pods are open pollination and only time will tell what they may produce, if anything. With fall and cooler temps in Michigan, it’s near impossible to germinate Euphorbia seed.

I just love how this guy is turning out, look at the patterns on the leaves. It's too bad that I lost the larger one.

Yeah looking nice Isde will it keep its leaves through winter

Yes, it's never dropped them growth just slows down.

isde, beautiful leaves on that one!

Had wet morning other day the green was showing good

Sarcocaulon herrei.

My baby Euphorbia japonica

K africana seed pod inch long 1/2 inch wide got around 12 pods should all be fertile this one fell off when touched it

Here is a sprout from one of the above seed pods collected in October

They take awhile to germinate I have found its faster to do some Scarification to seed

Well I post a pic of a sleeping Tylosema fassoglensis hoping for some good growth this growing season ..it didn't do to bad last season leaves are nice on these

Jabba the Hutt soaking up some rays...

Gorgeous!!!

Partial group shot.

Looking good Isde nice when everything starts growing

Had to repot my uncarina, every other day waterings were getting old lol.

Gorgeous, isde! The little ones you sent me are doing pretty well now, in spite of my chronically underwatering them. I keep forgetting how thirsty these guys are. Think I'll go check them right now.

Glad to hear that, they are very thirsty. I'm not sure that you can over water them in proper soil.

Once I realized that, they started growing much better :-)

P. rosulatum gracilis, finally starting to branch. I hope this one keeps it's belly, I love its shape.

That is beautiful, isde. Love the shape of it. How old?

Yeah that is a nice one I bet it will stay plump

Thanks guys. Wendy I'm not sure...I don't really keep records, although I probably should. But I've had it for three years.

Here is some Aloe ramosissima from seed sowed 2-15-19

Some have 5 heads now doing good in the hot sun in the Ozarks
