Succulents

Really cute, and they were really cheap to boot! Here's the other one:

They were all so purdy that I couldn't help myself. Surprisingly affordable too, even the bigger ones, which is always nice.

Hi everyone,

The label is saying that this plant is a "Portulaca" without specifying.

But the label also says to put the plant in partial shading with a humid soil. Another red flag compared to the Portulaca Umbraticola is that the label says it's highly toxic to humans when I found online that it's not.

Finally, I first tried putting it on a full sunlight balcony (bright hot sun from 10am to 9pm). It become red/yellow but bloomed, now it's on a partially shaded balcony (light sun from 7am to 10pm) and it's still loosing its leaves, even more, the color is worsening as you can see.

That's why I tried online identifiers and they all told me Portulaca umbraticola and that the needs were not the one I had on the label... I might be overwatering then (once every two days).

Should I trust the label and let it there and continue watering? Or shouldn't I trust the label?

It was a cheap home depot close out pack I replanted. Just window lighting & cheap rgb lights unfortunately. The ‘Joshua tree’ limbs were planted in there about 2.5yrs ago & slowly growing which is perfect for me

This pic is of a big boy that looks a bit like a lophophora underneath the flower, and here's one of an amazing grafted ball of fun I got last year (rootstock is slightly sun bleached, but quite healthy otherwise):

Looking forward to more and bigger flowers soon!

Edit: one of my gymno triplets also started to bloom some time between 3 hours ago and now! I was hoping all flowers would open up together, but it's still pretty :)

These were the first cacti my wife and I grafted ourselves at a workshop last year in August. Both took, and are growing FAST - love how healthy they are!

For reference, here's a pic from last year (doggo for scale). Unbelievable how much bigger they are in less than a year!

those old plants... 🥹

When the weather allows it, I keep most of my plants outside, so the main picture is a view that shows my balcony from the far end, just to better display the extent of my wife's and mine craziness.

Here are some closeups of different racks and sections - I will properly organize it one day, I'm almost certain of it ;) You can click the embeds for full-res photos.

I also have a rack in the living room, next to the TV, with some lamps:

That's about it for now, at least until the weekend - might notice some more cute succ-ers when I go grocery shopping or whatever, and as you can clearly see impulse control is not my forte :P

It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.

Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that's why I bought too many yet again :)

Here are a few closeup shots:

(And also some spider plants)

2 buds hiding under the flower ☺️

First bigger shopping trip this season, and I bought way too many again.

I'm kinda tired now, so just a quick brag before I properly id them :)

Here's some more shots:

Was grown from seed.
Last time I posted about it: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/5241154

Today's haul from a small succulent show in Tokyo. From the left, Adromischus marianiae var. herrei, a hybrid Orthonna (cremnophila X herrei), Myrtillocactus geometrizans also known as "Boobie cactus" (no, really!) and a pwetty wittle Pseudolithos cubiformis.

Love every single of'em already!

Here's another angle: https://i.postimg.cc/Ghgz2cSW/Succulents-May2.jpg

Went to a succulent/cactus store today to get some repotting soil, came back with that, and these three little stowaways :)

From the left, Pseudolithos migiurtinus, a beautiful Pleiospilos nerii in bloom, and cute Gymnocalycium quehlianum var. calochlorum triplets.

Went to a gardening store to pick up some rosemary and thyme (since I still have more than enough of sage and parsley;)) and found these beauties: a white(ish) Echeveria sold under a moniker "Queen", and a beautiful plump Pleiospilos nelii. First new succulets this season - looking forward to seeing them grow!

I bought it for relatively cheap at a grocery store but it wasn't kept well; the graft was very squishy and slumped over. It didn't regain posture at all, became worse even. Eventually, I used rubber bands and a chopstick to improvise a support and it actually worked! It is now way firmer and if I remove the chopstick it doesn't slump forward too far.

I still can't stop myself from getting succulents. These two just arrived today - a fuzzy-wuzzy Mammillaria plumosa on the left, and a cute spiky potato (Pachypodium densiflorum) on the right.

Not the best time for potting, but I saw them online and couldn't help it :)

Went shopping for something else, and just randomly saw them at a flower shop - couldn't pass them up, and here they are! :)

Ordered online, and it looks even better than in the photos! Just extraordinary - instantly became my favorite one in my collection!

Got these before my wife physically dragged me out of the venue to prevent me from buying any more ;)

Group pic above, and here are indiividual shots, filenames are the name of each plant:

The last two photos are both mammilarias - kinda neat how varied they can get within the same genus :)

These were the exhibition pieces, not for sale. Some impressive specimens there, in some cases I didn't even realize some of these can get so big...

The link is to an image gallery - embedding that many photos directly in the post is probably not the best idea.

I'll post my haul from the show later, I'm still on the train home :)
