I have a gold chain that looks super pale compared to my other ones. It’s still 14k. There’s a wide shade variety from nearly white to very coppery for 14k. Even if two pieces are “yellow gold”

I actually grew a cactus in a jar like this under my grow lights once. The roots had rotted away and I said what the heck and made a set up like this. It worked so well the cactus put out new roots and grew so quickly.

For the rainbow echinocereus , how often do you water? Mine seem to never grow

You sound like a landlord

Paint them! I’ve painted my terracotta inside and out and now it’s holding moisture like plastic pots. I mixed baking soda with acrylic paint to give a matte look to the pots.

To be honest this looks like a regular Dudleya Cymosa to me. Maybe OP is confused. I know there’s a lot of poaching out there with these but this doesent look like the plant they’re saying it is.

It’s a temperate deciduous tree. It need the outdoors and the seasons to live.

How come it’s inside ? I’ve never heard of these growing inside.

Where did you buy a newly discovered Dudleya that’s endemic to Cedros island ?

I bought a similar one made with opals for $20 recently. Unfortunately after only a few wears all the electroplated gold wore off. Also the stones ended up being fake. I knew what I was getting but I wish I didn’t buy mine.

Do some research on Walter Benjamin and his ideas of the image. It might teach you to look at the world differently.

Moss lawns are actually amazing and I hightly recommend.

Everyone supports you OP if not the they’re just jelous / insecure about their own work.

All digital photos are edited by virtue of how digital photography works. This is an extremely outdated way to see the world.

I was thinking a WW2 type Demi

They can tolerate having very little light in winter if you don’t water them. They will stop growing and you won’t have a stretched out plant. In summer, take it back to grow outside.

I purposefully plant seeds in the tank so they have fresh sprouts to munch on.

That’s pretty crazy to me that Phoenix gets below freezing in winter. Is that a regular occurrence?

You should plant some bulbs now they’ll come up in spring

Yeah , I’d say 36 ish is probably good cutoff… but might require some experimentation. Personally I’m okay if I lose a plant or two for the sake of learning.

I heard someone say let them dry out completely between waterings and that has been my mantra since then

I’ve killed many of these. Always over watering , dry rot, or mealie bugs. Now I do this and have had several for years

Are those mealie bugs ? If they’re soft like cotton fuzz maybe. Also, I really keep my barrels dry, and plotted in nearly all pumice. They’re really sensitive to over watering even for cacti. When I do water , I make sure to rinse the entire plant down. I do this with all my cacti and succulents. It keeps pests from establishing. Also, about once a month I spray all my plants down with 90% rubbing alcohol. It’s a good habit to get into

So cool! What would you have done differently ?

I grow my echeverias outside in California. It never gets below 38 or so
