My Orostachys collection
Here is the Orostachys I have. This will be my first winter with them. I was told to keep the O. eburnifolia under a porch roof or house overhang so it wouldn't get much water in the cold season. It is suppose to be a combination of cold and wet that kills them. We have a very wet winter and spring here in the Pacific Northwest.
I want to do everything I can to keep these alive and growing well.

Re: My Orostachys collection
First you have to host an image(you have to put it on server). There is a button ''Host an image'' above text box when you reply.
Then you will get a location of your image. Copy a location in your post. Please start new topic in Orostachys part of forum.
Can't wait to see a picture

Re: My Orostachys collection
Good morning Renata and Narcoleptic.
I am so glad you enjoyed the photos, some are not very sharp and clear. I will have to work on that. : )
I was so worried I wasn't posting correctly. Starting to feel more comfortable with how this site works.
Now all I have to do is get them through winter. The cold here should not be a problem. The ones that are out in unprotected beds may need to be put into pots and placed where they won't get so much rain.

Photos are great!
Now, when you know how, we expect more of them
Better take a good care of those plants, i think they're priceless.

Re: My Orostachys collection
I feel that way also. Just have to learn how to take proper care of them. Most I got from two local nurseries that specialize in hard to get plants.

Re: My Orostachys collection
Well I know for sure now what is damaging my Orostachys spinosa.
You can see the slug slime on the right side of the rosette. I put slug bait out, sure hope that takes care of the problem.
