succulent fun

Messing around with succulents

Messing around with succulents

A few things happy to see some light

just a bit of info from Devon the Covers are off for a few days before the cold returns and just a few losses and a handful of mould affected plants not to bad considering how long they have been covered
you need to take care though as some strains of the fungus produce the mycotoxin, patulin. spores that can cause allergic reactions to sensitive people when inhaled.
there sprays but it can be treated easily with the following methods
If the mould is in the soil, remove the affected soil and replace, then put in some apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or cinnamon. If the mould is on the plant, just cut off affected areas but carefully so not to spread spores everywhere.
most growers won't show there problems but I believe its a good thing as it shows anyone can be affected so don.t give up

Been really cold last week
even under thermal covers, and fleece, we have had minus 3
not happy about that.
will be throwing a few things away soon i think
on the plus side its propagation time for succulents any day soon

Trip to the national park

Looking at some great design as well as the gardens in the area this is the way to grow succulents .................

Lanzarote--- where cactus and art come together

Cactus everywhere with great design

Aeoniums growing from home saved seed 90 percent success unusually so
Growing very close together like this is great for little wooded planting groups.
In the last image signs of grey mold in one spot so will have to watch that will try more air movement first then possibly a fungicidal spray or probably just carefully separate and throw away infected bits

Uncovered the plants to check on them and to give light water
lovely to see there ok
just a small amount of mold quickly dealt with
lots trying to flower
