Can anyone give me advice on keeping Rhytidocaulon? I had it in my home on a shelf about a 1' away from the window, because I undertsood it to be extremely...
Hello, Consider using a plant light, and there are probably several types to choose from at local green houses. Find one that fits your space and make sure the...

Hi Judy, For some reason I don't always get the emails from the group, so I only stumbled onto your reply by coincidence on the site now. I use a Nikon D200. ...
Greetings, I have been reading a bit about the role of day length on growth periods in some SA succulents. I'm wondering what are the primary factors in the...

While I agree with Jeff's statement about differences in growth habits, I would consider many of them opportunistic in the sense that they do not seem to...
...and if they are truly opportunisitic, don't observe a strict dormancy, and continue to grow slowly all year, why would they waste away under lights after a...
I didn't say it was good to force them into growth at odd times of the year. I'm only saying they can be coaxed into it. I'm definitely of the opinion that a...
...and I wasn't talking about forcing growth. I'm just not forcing dormancy...the question is whether I should be (under lights and with relatively constant...
