Wow! Very cool!
@DesertGreen do you think I should repot it?

If I do I would like a shallow round pot

What do you think?
@LaBori276 I believe you have a Haworthia Star Plant. It’s gorgeous😍 It does have the nickname of β€œStar Cactus”, very deceiving.

They prefer indirect light, and temps between 60-80 degrees. You know, like most succs, well-draining soil, allowing to dry in between watering.

You’re right on target about repotting. Some of those smaller ones might be pups, so bonus babies for you!
@LaBori276 Just curious, what kind of light are you using?
@DesertGreen she's outdoors in a bright sunny spot with a few others
@DesertGreen see πŸ€—
@LaBori276 so impressive! I noticed your cacti, is it dry where you’re at?
@DesertGreen I was about to say, it looks just like my Haworthia cooperi! πŸ˜›
@DesertGreen I'm in Florida

I only bottom water them
@LaBori276 smart. I really love two types of cactus the prickly pears (optunias a Santa Rita), and Eve’s Needle. I really thought there would be part of my that had only grass, because nothing else could be grown in full sun and scorching temps😭

That's my Eve’s Needle out in the full sun reaching out to more sun as it sets. The Santa Rita, also full sun, has grown those 2 extra pads in just one week🀯😳😍
@stephonicle the name is totally deceiving! I can't hardly believe how varied Haworthias are. From the plump guy in the above pic to a dark green, pointy, white striped, growing up right, in a hudle, like an African Pearls.

And, non toxic to Cats and dogs 😻🐢
@DesertGreen oh how cute!!!!
