🤩  @itsjordan well if they have 3 full racks of new succulents, how could one even resist?? I am impressed you left with just two new buddies. Incredible restraint! More 👉🏻 https://greg.app/post/48DXK2

❄️  @MW_Kaktushaus this is quite the apt cactus buddy for today cause it almost looks like it's covered in snow. A very cool spine pattern to be sure! Post 👉🏻 https://greg.app/post/21SVZA

🦟  Finally this week, a shout out to @JesssJungle's pings which are part of the #carnivorousclub but (correct me if I am wrong) is currently in its succulent phase for the winter. Such cool plants! More 👉🏻 https://greg.app/post/LJHK

#WhatTheSuccWednesday #GregGang #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #Succulents #Cacti #NewGrowth Happy Hump day! Here’s what happened last week! More cacti arrived yeah! Finally found the appropriate pot for the Mammillaria Elongata, I am particularly excited about this, the newest acquisition the Euphorbia japonica. The Agave Lophantha Splendida has great colors. The next Old man cactus continues to grow, both he and the Old woman cactus completely ignoring Winter (wish I could) Come Spring they will get re-potted into terracotta pots, since both are still in the original pots they came in. That was September 2022 the old man, and July 2023 the Old woman. There’s more in comments below!👇

#WhatTheSuccWednesday #GregGang #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #Succulents #Cacti #NewGrowth The first one in the follow up post is the Madagascar Ocatillo, or Alluadia Procera it is also a recent acquisition. They always arrive bare roots, without a pot and are potted up immediately upon receipt. That’s why I get excited when I see new growth! Next is the Echinocereus pentalophus, the Lady Finger cactus and its descendants New growth is also being exhibited by the African Milk tree Rubra.  And continuing to bloom is as always the Crown of Thorns. The plant that is giving me the most pause is the Sansevieria Starfish Boncel it has been growing ever since it arrived. I have been debating whether to re-pot it now or wait until Spring. And of course it’s not just the re-potting, The offspring will need to become independent and get their own pots The sterilized scalpels are due to arrive later today and re-potting/operating can begin 😱😰😨! That’s all for now enjoy the rest of the week and stay safe!

Loving the plants this week! Mine are doing a lot better now that it isn't the Arctic outside. My mystery Pachyphytum is in bloom! The flowers are so pretty!! My Pachyphytum 'Margrit' is also blooming and is truly gorgeous. Also featured are my Graptoveria 'Opalina' and Echeveria lilacina; the pinks on them are 😍🩷🔥

@OmniArium · Answer

Uncle Fester was part of a 3 for $12 at the big box, pot was thrifted!

The fishhook pincushion (Mammillaria Bombycina) always reminds me of my grandma. Growing up, I spent my summers at her house. It was up on the Mogollon rim in Arizona at approximately 5600 ft where these grow among the shaggy cedar and red dirt.

My grandma had 14 acres, a handful of farm animals, and a 1/4 acre fenced garden. I wouldn't be a part of this community had she not instilled a deep love of this life! 🌱

@OmniArium · Answer

The first time I saw an Old Man of the Andes (Oreocereus Celsianus) was in Ensenada, Mexico. It was about 4 ft tall and I knew that I had to have one in my collection! Well last week I checked that box. Say hello to Abuelito!

@FirstFicusalii · Answer

#SucculentLove as a first time mother of succulent plants. When should I consider repotting my succulents? I’ve only had them for two days.

@MomentousBonsai · Answer

@Prentyce I was told that it grows like a lithops, so I had to have it

@JazzedJuniper · Answer

Actually I found a pup on my aloe plant today! It was so exciting and rewarding to see. When I first got into gardening, I had an aloe that straight died immediately. I feel like I redeemed myself with this one. Bonus, my skin LOVES the aloe from my plant!

@Crissie37 · Answer

@Prentyce thank you! 🙏 
 Some are rescued bits that fell off, sometimes I asked for a cutting 😊

@Crissie37 · Answer

@JazzedJuniper aloe is the best for your skin!

@elisenavidad · Answer

Wow look at all those beauties! Congratulations everyone!

@JesssJungle · Answer

Ah thank you for the feature @RJG!! I have read that some pings DO sort of revert to a succulent-like dormancy so I believe you are correct! Now I have to go do more research on this! Lol. Beautiful succulents and cacti, even in the winter, everybody!

@SilveryArugula · Answer

New here meet my lil guy (Bredasdorp Gasteria ) Collin

@CasualOnionweed · Answer

My newest cactus and succulents.

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@UpfrontDisphyma wow that’s so cool.  Is it a pup growing from the root system or is it a seed that fell into the soil? Either way that’s cool

@SirLiquorice · Answer

@CasualOnionweed that crested/grafted one looks really cool.

@UpfrontDisphyma · Answer

@SirLiquorice Pretty sure it's a pup that's growing from the root system what a great rare sight to see since i haven't seen this happening in images on google.📱👀
