My Orostachys collection

Post by valleylynn on Tue Nov 23, 2010 8:36 pm

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.

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 Smile

Hope I did this correctly Narcoleptic. Did I put this in the correct forum?

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.

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.

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.
