These plants are like cacti, they like it dry with prolonged dry period in winter. The drainage should be very good as well. Terrarium is too humid and with no drainage and you can't combine Anacampseros with some tropical plants, only with other cacti and succulents which are not suitable for terrariums in geberal.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-35986564469457829012016-08-24T14:36:06.485+02:002016-08-24T14:36:06.485+02:00Hi!

I am making some terrariums right now so Anacamseros would be perfect additions. I wonder if the seeds arrive healthy in Brazil, where I live. Do you recommend any other websites to buy from? Thank you so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028842834923613919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-72142227423168748752016-08-24T06:37:05.477+02:002016-08-24T06:37:05.477+02:00Hello :)

There are 4 young plants in that pot.<br /><br />I'm glad I could spike a little interest in them :) Thanks for visiting! Anacampseros seem to be perfect windowsill plants because of the small size, variety of shapes and eagerness to flower. And they are easy from seed.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-84282769411584650182016-08-24T02:44:21.343+02:002016-08-24T02:44:21.343+02:00Hi, I would like to know the name of that bottom, ...Hi, I would like to know the name of that bottom, second plant from right to left, that looks like a little tree with green branches, right next to Anacampseros baeseckei.

Will try to support the theory of them being perfect windowsill plants. They seem to be very good at managing themselves, even if your care for them is wrong.<br /><br />I have now 18 pots of seedlings! With more to be sown this weekend :DRikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-89103055375416534452016-02-15T20:31:30.717+01:002016-02-15T20:31:30.717+01:00I do like them all.

I found some (A. filamentosa)grew fast and produced clumps that became a bit unruly at times, and then required a bit of pruning. But, you are right, they are tough, undemanding plants and make a nice addition to any succulent collection. I see you have Gordon Rowley's book. Not much else out there on Anacampseros and Avonia. They're maverick succulents from the portulaca family and far under appreciated. You're building a very nice collection. I'm going to ask around and see if we have any experienced growers of anacampseros on this side of the Atlantic. Maybe I can dig up some more information on these great plants. As always thank you for sharing your plants, your information, and your enthusiasm with all of us. :D Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-36233682582889026492016-02-14T10:13:48.623+01:002016-02-14T10:13:48.623+01:00You're very welcome :)

They seem to be grateful plants, eager to flower, and they don't take up much space.<br /><br />I believe with all the fluff mealy bugs might stay undetected for a long time but other than that in my experience they don't make any trouble.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-4922548895484123142016-02-13T12:25:14.051+01:002016-02-13T12:25:14.051+01:00I have never seen any of these plants in real life...I have never seen any of these plants in real life, so your photos are a wonderful "tour" for me, thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.com
