Well my money was returned this week for my order of seeds from the Haworthia Society. It's really a shame because the seeds were the best part of belonging...
Bayer's new book HAWORTHIA UPDATE ESSAYS ON HAWORTHIA VOL 1. has at long last been published. Bruce wrote it in May 1999! It is essentially six essays centred...

+Randy, I couldn't agree more. But I wrote about this situation some weeks ago on this forum and received but one response. By the way, I thought that the...
I ordered 25 different species and also added 10 others if there were things sold out. So that makes 35. I ordered the day I received the seedlist. I received...
Breck, I thought the Society would send the seeds as well. The letter I received said "Due to US seed import regulations and British Customs and Post Office ...
One solution that I've seen other societies use is as follows: All the seed orders to the United States are packed into one box and sent to one recipient with...
+Well they are not doing what they said they would do then. I looked again at the relevant statement in the Haworthiad and it does indeed say that they will...
Yeah this is exactly what I suggested doing in a previous posting some weeks ago. In fact why don't they simply send a supply of a percentage of all the seeds...
Breck, David Hutchinson had every intention of sending seed and in fact he did attempt to. UK postal authorities returned several postings because he didn't...
Breck & Rufino, The society is looking into alternatives. I should not have quoted only a portion of the letter. Here is the entire letter as returned with...
+Thanks Lawrence for the clarification. I may be opening myself up to discovery as a hopelessly naive person, but I can't figure out for the life of me why...
Hi Folks, This my first posting as a new member to this forum but not new to growing Haworthias as I have always had a few since starting growing Cacti and...
This morning I wrote the following letter. Perhaps it can be of value to my fellow Americans on this list who object as I do to the new United States Dept. of...
+Dear Niel, Ah root loss! The bane of all haworthiaphiles (doesn't seem nearly as common in gasterias...). Well first of all, don't feel alone in having your...
My semiviva does the same thing, and David Martin told me his do too, and to just wait it out, and it will come back. It is my understanding that this is...
Hi Niel, Since everyone's growing conditions are different, it is hard to say whether there is anything wrong with your growing mix. I grow my haworthias in...
Hi BRECK, I am glad I'm not alone when it comes to root loss the problem being it seems to be the same species that are prone with me ie semiviva. My regime...
Hi Randi, I was beginning to think it was just me that could grow semiviva but I am glad I'm not alone.It is one species I am always wary about when watering...
Hi Rufino, It must be great to be able to grow your plants outside in your garden. Are you not affected with freak storms or animal or insect damage? I have...
Ignorance is bliss I suppose. I use any commercial cactus mix, plastic pots, grow in the house, but also some are under cover outside, water when dry all year...
Hi all. Getting away from the nasty business of combating bureaucrats...and back to what Ray and I hoped this forum would be about... I noticed, this weekend,...
Hi Niel, My biggest worry is always when to water Haws, and especially the semiviva. Like you said, maybe the answer is in not watering them at all (LOL)...

I own a successful well-established Central Illinois Retail Greenhouse, Garden Center, and Nursery Business and I am retiring. I have a fully equipped, turn...
... *knock on wood* but thus far I have not had any major problems with the weather. The last freeze here was in December of 1989, so the haworthias can stay...
Hello Breck, Although I'm at least 2000 miles away, and certain it's much colder here (south-central Michigan), I too, have Gasteria beginning to flower. Right...
Hi all: I don't know why but I don't have a problem with losing roots on any of my haworthias and Have quite a few. They all seem to keep quite healthy. I...
