Default Hechtia species

Here is a Hechtia I got last spring. I got three pups and split one off to pamper in a pot with fertilizer and the other two I put into the garden and were grown much harder and with less water. The one in the garden had the leaves blush a red color in the cooler winter weather. The one in the pot with more water and fertilizer never showed any color and is pupping like crazy....

winter colors in the garden (it had a little more color at one point, but didn't grab a picture of it before it started fading)


softer grown plant

Ha ha, huh? You will be in NO but not going into the conference? If so, that'll still work.
