My Favorite Haworthia

So east to take care of and it produces a lot of pups in a short period of time. A staple in my dish gardens and arrangements. Partial shade, morning sun preferred.

String of Dolphins

I have been searching for this plant for a while now. I also own
String of Pearls, Banana, andTears. They are easy to take care of and needs filtered sun exposure. I hope I get lucky and find one soon.

Aeonium Mardi Gras

All my aeoniums are still awake. They are all doing well, healthy and colorful. It is time to propagate. This is my favorite one , along with Kiwi. They are easy to grow.

Party Favors I made for a wedding.

It took 2 months to root the cuttings for a well established plant.

AEONIUM NOBILE

My biggest aeonium. Very thick and hardy. It has the most beautiful clusters of flowers. After blooming, the mother plant dies but it gave me a lot of pups to start all over again. One of my favorites.

GASTERIA LITTLE WARTY

Easy to grow, very hardy. Very productive too. You can separate the babies and plant in a well drained soil with lots of pumice.

AEONIUM NOBILE

This is a very hardy looking aeonium. I love the thick leaves and all the babies that are formed below the main trunk. It can also take full sun. Very easy to propagate from cuttings.

BEAVER'S TAIL

I just got an ID for this one. It is very similar to Donkey's tail but grows a little slower. Very pretty in a tall pot or hanging pot. It needs dapped sunlight and more water than regular succulent.

Opalina

I love this plant. It survived the freezing temperature and rains we had the last few weeks. I also did not suffer from the heat last summer. The color turns pink during the cold months. Easy to propagate from cutting or leaves. This rosette is about 12 inches across.

Aeonium Black Beard

I love Aeoniums especially the ones with darker colors. They do well during the winter months and even survived the frost that we had last week.

2019-02-18T10:47:00.001-08:00

I am still searching for the right ID for this plant. So far I have been told it is called Echeveria Autumn Harvest. I know it is not Mahogany rose. I just love the color. If anyone knows for sure, please comment.

2019-01-23T11:43:00.002-08:00

My Aeonium is getting so big. This is the biggest one so far- about 18 inches across . This is their season. I hope does not bloom. Ver prolific and easy to grow.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

I have been making dish and mug succulent arrangements for sale. This is one that I just did. More to come.

TREATING Mealy Bugs and Aphids

I learned from a member of a succulent groups that I belong to that she uses Windex directly on her plants to treat mealy bugs and aphids. She said it works like a charm. I have yet to try it. I have used Ortho Home Defense and it works for me too. Live and learn.

2018-10-10T23:32:00.000-07:00

I am still looking for an ID for this. It is in the same family as Silver Quill, I just love the leaves on this plant.

2018-09-27T11:45:00.003-07:00

I am starting to do my succulent pumpkins. Have to start early to have a good choice on pumpkins.

Stapelia Grandiflora

Another plant I got from the Conejo Succulent plant sale. I am excited to see the flowers. It has smaller leaves and a little different growth pattern than the Stapelia gigantea.

2018-09-25T09:14:00.003-07:00

I just bought this plant at a Plant Sale. It did not have any ID, but the seller said it is in the same family as Silver Quill. I am excited to propagate it, it came with 2 small babies.

Kalanchoe Tarantula

I bought this plant without the flower. I was surprised to see these red flowers. The flowers last for over a month. Easy to propagate. I already took a cutting and it rooted fast. I always propagate another plant for duplicate just in case.

In spite of the 100+ degree heat we are having in So Cal. this cactus continues to bloom day after day. They only last a day but I'll take it.
