r/Caudex

Supposed to be Summer dormant but it clearly doesn't know that.

Anyone ordered Black Zombie Adenium Arabicum seeds from here? If you have id love to see all the pictures!

A new plant for me. Got to use the cup holder in the car for the first time to transport it home 🤣

Keen for growing advice. Will it be ok indoors with plenty of light in southern Australia or does it benefit from being outdoors? Does anyone let them dry out totally over winter? Place I got it from seems to have kept it very moist with moss growing around it.

2019 seedling

The local Walmart has some decent finds for 14.99.

Brand new leaves are dark red, I wish they’d stay that way permanently. Still a cool plant.

The 2 plants on the right are about 1 years and the others about 8-9 months. I had 30 seeds and only these germinated. I used small pumice on indirect sun's heat. After some time i let the pumice dry and re watered to see if that helped and it did with 1 seed or two.

Already showing a massive caudex!!

Just picked up this dormant elephant foot plant that was from a private nursery's personal collection. Planted in 2000, complete with a volunteer euphorbia.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little scared of killing this holy grail plant, or that it won't grow a vine. I found it locally at retail and, while I would feel more confident buying it out of dormancy, I knew as soon as it started showing green it would get snapped up. At least if it never grows a vine I have the euphorbia. :D

My brighamia is slowly loosing all it’s leaves :(. It has hard white spots on it’s leaves and weird threads on top that look like a very small spider web.

Is it parasites ? What should I do ?

Thanks :)

one of a few seedlings that thrive in 100F Texas heat full sun environment(outside on the south facing balcony.): bursera paradoxa.

I have to water it everyday because the mineral mix dries out daily in this weather.

It has put out 4 new leaves in 2 weeks.

Would love some insight if anyone has some to offer! I bought this at a local nursery because i loved the caudex and thought maybe it was some type of fouquieria by chance? I appreciate any help :)

I'm totally smitten, she's only been in the house for 6 hours and I just keep walking around her and staring. One of those "just had to have it" purchases, you know the ones... I've done a little research and it's the typical: bright light, keep it dry, pretty much what I would expect. But she's got a lean to her and I'm wondering do I just let it hang out or stake her?

Thank you kindly!
