    Summer growers:

    Pachysedum Ghanzou

    Rhipsalis Baccifera horrida

    Hatiora - given as cutting from friend in June, almost 2X size!

    Aloe vera given as pup by friend (w/ hybrid aloe pups thrown in - likely "blizzard")

    Akai jade - grew myself from cuttings from plant that drowned in a watery grave after 4-day summer rainstorm

    aloe Glauca & Partridge Aloe (correct me if they're ID'ed wrong. Partridge was yellow everywhere that had been potted below nursery soil & hasnt yet grown out if it.

    Thank you! I repotted them as soon as I got them home from store, into perlite, grit & turface only. The aloe glauca I id'ed as such after 3 days research told me it has almost invisible pin stripes on leaves & reddish-brown spines- corally in brighter light. Would you happen to know the cultivar of he haworthia next to it?

    Akai jade should have much more color on the leaves - maybe yours lost it since it was 'abused'?

    R,

    I would have guessed Aloe peglerae myself, but it could be A. g. - they're too young for me to say with certainty that the label you have is wrong. I don't know Haworthias (someone else will), but do you know you've got your first one - only 847 more or so to go!) It might be H. attenuata . I don't think it's a cultivar but a species, at any rate. Here's a cultivar of Haworthia that's pretty nice, IMO - thanks to PalmBob for the picture. Haworthia 'White Wolf'.

    I have others, cooperii, limifolia, venosa,etc. Just didn't get pics they are in another room & I kinda forgot about them! I LOVREthat white wolf! Reminds me of e.purprosorum

    Rina akai sits in s. bay window, as close as possible to glass. I dont have grow lights though & realize sometimes even south sun isn't enough I doors.

    I do not think winter sun is enough :) - in my location it isn't at all. I have Akai that bloomed this year, it spends warmer times outside, in full day sun, and winters under supplemental lights. It kept reasonable color, which I think gets bit more vibrant in full day os sunshine:

    Hope you can get yours to recover well, and get some color on the leaves.

    Was it labeled as Akai?

    That 'White Wolf' is beautiful.

    Rina: mouth watering! I hope it's good this summer, going outside. Again. Remind me not to take anymore out of town trips during 4 day rainstorm. Hope to get grow lights this fall before everything gets brought back in for winter.
