The tall ones are now resident on windowsills and the rest in the cellar under red/blue lights. We'll see how they go.

If I want to see the plants as green there's white light available too at the flick of a switch.

I did a reshuffle in there and added a couple of pots of Conophytum verrucosum seedlings that arrived this week. I've also added a pot of Lithops optica rubra and one of Dinteranthus vanzylii and left the same in the greenhouse.

Temperature in the lightbox seems to be between 11 and 14 C

At present all look quite happy.

I'll put this in the General section because it is currently a NoID (even if we do have suspicions).

This little chappie popped up in a Lithops seed pot and it definitely isn't L. dinteri.

We'll keep an eye on it and see what it grows up to be. I can say in full confidence it will not be a swan.

It's a Euphorbia. It's a Medusa Euphorbia. Which one at this stage is anyone's guess.

The main body of mesembs ( not all by any means Euphorbia corner Just shows how much fun you can have in a small space
