When I view them on my laptop they don't seem as green as when I view them on my mobile phone. They are green but maybe not as much as they appear on your monitor. True, I'd love them to be more tanned but summer hasn't started yet and the sun actually gets very strong here. Let's see how they'll look then ^^a <br />This plant is not shaped well yet because it was hidden behind bigger plants for longer period of time. Should get better now. Unfortunately it might take years until I can have a greenhouse with full sun. If ever... So better get used to green plants, I've accepted the fact that they will never look like in habitat :)Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-62044589203945890692014-05-07T07:56:11.729+02:002014-05-07T07:56:11.729+02:00Looks like it is coming back strong. It's int...Looks like it is coming back strong. It's interesting seeing the bright green color of many of your plants. It is a healthy look, but also a look of not enough strong sunlight. I see the same thing when I grow mesembs under fluorescent lights. They look healthy, and they grow, but the color is so different from the plants I have outside in 8 to10 hours of direct sun each day. You do wonders with your window but more light would really transform your collection into something magnificent. But, it would also increase the maintenance, because plants would need more water, and transplanting more often, and maybe even a little fertilizer now and then. There are always trade offs. I don't think I've ever grown Aloinopsis spatulata. Apparently, it develops a very large root system, like a carrot. (I've been reading my "Titanopsis Group"). I really love the habitat photos in that book. I've been letting my lithops seedlings dry out in preparation for transplanting. I going the follow that new method I saw in a video. Very ingenious. ;) Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
