Looking for Dyckia pups

Mesilla Park, NM

Have Belladonna bulbs (naked ladies), or can do cuttings of either succulents, cactus, aloe pups, Agave pups or Epi cuttings, also have some one year old plumeria plants. Also, I can take a look at your want list and just may have it.

Looking especially for Cherry Coke platyphylla, or any of the red colored or green Dyckia plants.

I have one Dyckia (mariner-laposteller and would like to get other varieties). Please D-mail me if interested in a trade. Thanks for reading this..

How do you seperate Dyckias? Are there any tricks other than - very carefully????

I bought one 2 years ago and it arrived as just a mass of pups but I have never tried to break it apart and it hasn't grown much either; perhaps because it needed to be divided.

WIll try and find the cultivar; squirrels took off with the label long ago.

Yes, they do grow ever so slowly. You may have to take it out of the pot and take the soil off the roots so you can see.. wear gloves, they seem to be so stiff too. The one I have is about 2 years old also, this picture is one taken when I bought it. It is bigger now. It has been raining here for a couple of days, off and on so I haven't been taking photos. It looks like it is growing like a multihead on mine, not really a pup, but on the topside. very wierd.

It really doesn't matter what names they are to me. Thanks for checking.

ardesia if you ever do divide it out..I would love to work out a trade for one of the pups...I dont' care to much about names either :)
I have nemtanthus, kohleria, african violets, columnea, cryptanthus, and such to trade...


And Gourd...I think cryptanthus may be similiar though I doubt as stiff as these look from the photo.
They also get sunburned fairly easy. I keep mine in my sunroom year round and they seem to do quite well
