Developed a horizontal crack on my left middle toe. Not sure how. I think I might have stubbed my toe on something but I don't remember. The lower part is pliable but still attached. Can I just clip it off?
About a week ago I showed some seeds from a packet labelled ‘Echeveria sp Ixtaban de la sol’ that I received from my local cactus and succulent society. When the first one germinated however, I found out that it is a monocot seedling, and not a dicot , which Echeverias are. In addition, it has what appears to be tiny white projections growing near the top. It may be possible that it is a weed, but I find that unlikely as I’ve got several other seed trays with the same soil mix and none of them have something like this growing in it. Confounding the mystery further, there is no place called “Ixtaban de la sol”, which is probably a mispelling of the Mexican town Ixtaban de la Sal . Cant wait for it to grow so I can figure out what the heck it is.
Left Ariocarpus hybrids and right Aloe bulbillifera hybrids.
Got these babies from my local succulent society.This species of Aloe is uncommon in cultivation , with no commercially available distinct morphs or hybrid cultivars on the market as far as I’m aware. These guys are likely open sourced pollination, where their parent was pollinated by an unknown donor in a private collection, meaning each one of these will likely be unique in colour,patterns and growth form. I can’t wait to see what these guys will turn into!
I’ve recently started growing Aloes from seed, with the packet saying that these are Aloe bulbillifera hybrids. I haven’t been able to find any cultivars or hybrids with Aloe bulbillifera as a parent.Does anyone knows of any cultivars or hybrids with this species as a parent?
Opened up the container to drain the excess water and found 5 more seedlings, making a total of 7!

2 baby Ariocarpus hybrids! Sorry for the poor quality photos, these guys need to be sealed for the next year. Hopefully more pop up soon!

Never kept these guys before. Should be a good learning experience.
It’s just starting to regrow roots , but the stem is tilted over in one direction. Should I replant it vertically or at an angle, so the head is perpendicular to the pot?
About 3 weeks ago, I filled out around 40 different job applications for team member and barista positions at Pret A Manager, and I’ve still haven’t received an answer or response back. I haven’t been able to find a phone number or email address or the like to chase them up with. The only platform I got is the one on the company website, but that is only for customers reviewing specific branches. If anyone has got any advice, it would be more than welcome.
Hopefully these guys germinate so I can finally find out what the heck they are. I keep seeing this seed mix online but no one has any idea what species are in it. Echeverias are in the top left.
For anyone interested, the other ones I’m cooking up are:
Blossfeldia liliputana
Aloe bulbilifera hybrids
Ariocarpus mixed hybrids
Rebutia miniscula var miniscula
Should be seeing results within a week or two. The ones I have got growing are:
Blossfeldia liliputana
Aloe bulbilifera hybrids
Echeveria sp Ixtaban de la sol
Ariocarpus mixed hybrids
Rebutia miniscula var miniscula
Sorry for no photo, as all the ones I take don't show it clearly.
