Who me? nooooooo. I'm a law abiding citizen. Hold on brb....I gotta go clean the sand that fell into my pocket.

Hey guys, pretty neat. Which nursery did AZ did those plants come from? I collect the odd cacti myself. Pelecyphora aseliformes is my latest aquisition. Not that different from a lithops. (except of course that Lithops are African continent and cacti are from the American continents) Convergent adaptations to similar environments.

i just got a seedpod off my Pereskia grandifolia, a leafed cactus. gotta figure out how to germinate them.
i just learned my lithops aren't buried deep enough.... took me a few tries to learn not to water them. i didn't wanna believe that they needed so little water.

I have af few common ones I rescued from Lowes. I assume they like drier winters and full sun in summer? Thanks they are way very cool

Leo - I just googled for pictures of Pelecyphora aseliformes and couldn't find any. Would you happen to have any pictures of yours?
