I seem to just kill my big ones. I have a hard time throwing out my trimmings too knowing how much I paid for the mother.I just gave a lot of 4" rooted aloes to a small nursery. I also germinated a hundred Golden leadball trees. I was expecting three to sprout and I read the directions differently with this years bunch of seeds and they ALL sprouted in 4 days. The ones last year took months and I got 2. They loved the little trees because they are the type that grow without added water here in Texas. I think they are from west Texas. They were headed for their pots , the last I saw them. They were not able to find one gallon trees of this sort so they were really happy.

Walters Gardens in Michigan plants all there Agave and Mangave in the ground every year and then dig them all back up to put in the greenhouse. They have a crew of men and equipment to do that. I don't and getting old and worse every year. Pots are the only way to go. In the middle of re-potting a lot of my plants this year and with even bigger pots to move now. I think I am loosing my mind. Good thing I have miss dolly and mr. wagon to help me.

So lush, so beautiful. . My Texas drought has burnt my eyeballs.

I know what you mean about the pots getting to big and too heavy. I have that problem. I solved it by moving them in for the winter and forgetting to move them back out, forgetting to water them during my building project. I killed my biggest and best aloes. Sad.

You would think succulents should be able to go long periods with out water. Mostly my Agave go most of winter with out water. I know it keeps getting harder ever year wintering over my collection.

Not as long as I needed. then when I watered them all their roots had desicated and they formed rot. No plant lives of total neglect. I have fewer plants to move but I am a sck addicted person. They are being replaced by smaller baby succulents. .

wantonamara, what are you looking for right now. I have several different kind of plants that I have to thin out before winter haul in. Sanseveria, Aloes, Haworthia?

Any one else? Message me.

I am looking for Ale capitata var quartzicola. I am being very picky. The one I had was 25 years old. It was abeauty. I can find seed but no plants of it.

I very much agree with you. With limited space I myself are selecting plants that I want to keep. Not any or all the ones I currently own. I find it hard to dispose of any of my house plants while I have no problem killing weeds. Any plant that you have no use for is a weed. A weed no longer is a weed once you find a use for.

Stush, it really stinks not having the space. I have had to sell my 25 year old jade to a Bonsai shop because I had no where to put it(

Many of mine I have to keep on the smaller side and if I cut them, I feel horrible throwing out the cuttings. If I owned a greenhouse, I would make a mint on all the babies of plants I have I can n ot bring inside.

Now that the greenhouse is not going to be heated for the winter, I have had to make more room for all of those.

I gave my large Jades away also. No room. Keeping most Agave, Mangave, Sansevieria, Aloes, and some Euphorbia. Also a few cactus. Still way too many to care for.
