As previously mentioned, the cute young gracilidelineata from before are synchronously changing their clothes now. You can already see the new leaves through the small cleft if you look closely!
These A. malherbei seedlings are now 9 months old. After a long time of growth-stop during the colder months they've recently started growing again and look how fat and meaty the leaves are! :)
I was able to free some room with magic (otherwise known as transplantation and clever tray placement) and could get myself more mesembs. I have several pots with seedlings that will need more room sometime soon but I'm going to ignore this fact for now ;) The new guys are: Ebracteola wilmaniae It arrived with the rests of a flower. Nice light rose color and lovely see-through leaves. Argyroderma fissum I find it curious because if you think of an Argyroderma you think of a spheroid. This one has long leaves. A bit wrinkly but a week after this picture was taken it has shown a good growth. By the way, you can see a little clay jug (with a cat drown on it) to the right. This is what I use to water my plants from, i.e. to measure how much water they get per pot. The regular watering means half the jug for a pot just like on the picture below (ca 5x5x8,5 cm). I take a full jug if the plant is seriously thirsty. Gibbaeum geminum An old and beautifully bonsai-like plant. I actually go...
I've sent out all the envelops with fresh Anacampseros seeds to you guys. Make sure to sow them soon :) The bunch of seeds I've hatched myself have turned into 9 tough seedlings and now, as they are one whole month old, they are showing their first hairs. Cute, huh? At first I thought those were mealy bugs, which is far less cute XD
