@SirLiquorice thanks! It’s definitely interesting! As for the hitchhiker, I’ll need to see how far it’s gotten and make sure I don’t get sliced by the foliage. I’ve had that experience before and ordered a tool to get between the blades and clean them up. I’ll definitely repot it once I get it out. ☺️
@FitSedum I still need to pick some pieces of bark out of the agave you gave me. Those cats are so irritating sometimes. Lol. But at least they didn’t cause any damage to the plant. That’s all I care about. I can clean the dirt off of it. Already removed most but need to get the rest with tweezers.
@SirLiquorice it definitely does. I really don’t want to move that Agave from its pot. My poor hands can’t take it! 😂😂😂
@SirLiquorice Yes, That’s definitely something I need to do with all of my plants. Moving them indoors has shown me how much debris they get outside.
@SirLiquorice I found this about it online. It grows autumn and Spring then stops during Winter and Summer. So, it looks like you can re pot it now since it’s actively growing.

@SirLiquorice I ordered this for picking out things. I don’t know if you’ve ever considered it.

@SirLiquorice the shape of the leaves is what attracted me to it. Its usually all about the architecture when I see them. If they are fairly geometric, I’ll take them!
@SirLiquorice did you see this about the short-leaf aloe? 🥺
“An evergreen succulent perennial plant native to the Western Cape in South Africa. It is endangered in its natural habitat – the aloe species is listed as vulnerable on IUCN’s global red list.”

@FitSedum the plastic coat hangers work very well for repotting. Especially with larger heavier and spikier plants. Plus using old jeans to wrap around to hold them. I never use gloves I just use old clothes. That mamillaria in the pic was really heavy and awkward to pick up and move. Gary Duke said that was the largest cactus or plant he has ever shipped. I got that one as a housewarming gift for a friend. The copiapoa I kept. That one is super spiky so it had to take my time adjusting and potting that one. The hangers make the work surprisingly easy.
@SirLiquorice I think it’s wonderful that you have them. I remember what was said about trying to keep them off and us doing our part. 🫶🏽
@SirLiquorice I agree. When I saw it, I recall it being in a small clump. By the time I we met, it was definitely a bit larger. Has it grown THAT much more?
@SirLiquorice yes, I agree it would be damaging to the succulent. I’m using it to clean up debris in my Agave pots. When Ares -one of my Blue Glow Agave - got freeze burn, I used pliers to pull off the leaves that were already coming off. I can’t even access the soil in the pot at this point. 😅
@Indoorgreens isn’t it?! ☺️ I’m heading out to get a better look and see if it’s ready for it’s own pot. NGL, it’s kinda exciting! ☺️
@SirLiquorice these are excellent tips! Thank you for sharing! This will definitely make it easier!
