I have been to Roraima Nursery many times. Lyle has an amazing range of plants, for sale and on show. Just to go and have a wonder around and see the mature plants, and how he has arranged them is inspiring!!!!

As a pelargonium enthusiast I have begun to grow some pelargonium caudex and sarcocaulons, but their dormancy frightens me somewhat fearing they may not survive and not always knowing which part of the year each species go dormant, so it's quite tricky. I have also tried sowing seed bought from a reputable society, but with very little success. It amazes me to see the success Lyle is having, but Northern Irish weather where I live can be pretty grim! 🙃

You have certainly decided on a fairly tricky group particularly in your climate but isn't that part of the charm of collecting. Regards Stephen

@@thehorti-culturalists Yes, indeed! A challenge tests us! It's my hobby since I am terminally ill with Amyloidosis post transplant which has given me some borrowed time. 🤍

Dude makes a good point. "Edulis" means "edible" in Latin so one would expect Fockea edulis to be edible. According to Google, "Despite the latex, the tubers of several Fockea species are edible and were roasted and eaten by the Hottentots. Prolonged cooking is said to inactivate the latex. Once roasted, the tubers can be dried and ground into a flour to make bread."

All true but there is a big difference between edibility and palatability and is some respect practicability after all, with the things we have to eat why would we bother! Regards Stephen

Wonderful selection of plants. Do you know if you could successfully grow a welwitchia in southern Australia, ? I have long admired such a rare plant.

It could be possible but a cover to keep out unwanted rain might be required. Regards Stephen

Can Ryan do a short on the botanical differences between tubers, corms, bulbs and other types of specialized underground wonders and how to tell them apart? Also, what are the fleshy bits around the roots of a ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) called? They seem to store water (a good thing for an inconsistent house plant waterer)--is that correct? I'm on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, USA (Zone 6b/7a).

A thought occurred to me, if a caudex gets more rain while not dormant, will that moisture kill it as will our agaves, cacti, etc... ??? this past winter here in the southeast US I lost every one of my agaves which had survived our winters for a few years prior but that cold combined with the rain was indeed deadly for them...I'm guessing that a caudex is a succulent but a succulent isn't necessarily a caudex ...?? Thx...m

@MDA-rs4uf 11 ай бұрын

I think I now understand,,,,caudex is a "form" or "survival mode" of various plants,,,not a genus or family of plants... am I thinking correctly????

@thehorti-culturalists 11 ай бұрын

You are correct and it can be lethal to get a wet caudex when dormant. Regards Stephen

I have a question. I have a 'Turquoise Kisses' Salvia. It has just finished flowering, do I cut this plant right back to the base of the plant early spring. I'm in Adelaide South Australia.
