Ive rooted a carpobrotus, but keeping one alive was the hard part.

I left it in some soggy, infested soil, and it didnt make it.

edit: I meant to say coast LOL

Congratulations! The flowers are pretty if you can get it to bloom.

Some sprouted in my yard this winter. I need to pull it out. It is considered an invasive species along the California coast. (Not going to be a problem in Canada.)

Thanks guys! I've kept it dry and repotted it a few weeks ago. It needs a new pot again. Really growing like crazy now.

This is a new cutting I took in the summer all of a sudden it's got markings. The one in the ground is fine.

What I see is typical “iceplant” that grows EVERYWHERE in Southern California along the sides of the freeways.

One area’s “nothing special” is someone’s “gotta have one!”.

I wonder what I have as part of my treasured collection or that I was on a quest to find is “nothing special” some place else.
