Today’s haul from a small succulent show in Tokyo. From the left, Adromischus marianiae var. herrei, a hybrid Orthonna (cremnophila X herrei), Myrtillocactus geometrizans also known as “Boobie cactus” (no, really!) and a pwetty wittle Pseudolithos cubiformis....
Went to a succulent/cactus store today to get some repotting soil, came back with that, and these three little stowaways :)...
Went to a gardening store to pick up some rosemary and thyme (since I still have more than enough of sage and parsley;)) and found these beauties: a white(ish) Echeveria sold under a moniker “Queen”, and a beautiful plump Pleiospilos nelii. First new succulets this season - looking forward to seeing them grow!
I bought it for relatively cheap at a grocery store but it wasn’t kept well; the graft was very squishy and slumped over. It didn’t regain posture at all, became worse even. Eventually, I used rubber bands and a chopstick to improvise a support and it actually worked! It is now way firmer and if I remove the chopstick it...

I still can’t stop myself from getting succulents. These two just arrived today - a fuzzy-wuzzy Mammillaria plumosa on the left, and a cute spiky potato (Pachypodium densiflorum) on the right....
Went shopping for something else, and just randomly saw them at a flower shop - couldn’t pass them up, and here they are! :)

Update from last post. Steadily growing :)
Added a few new ones to the squad 😅 Will be relaxing a bit after having gotten these, feeling really happy with the diversity of what I have right now....
I love the pseudolithos and the cute little conophytum in particular, but they are all great!...

Does anyone know what kind of succulent this is? I’ve been calling it my tentacle plant, but it seems unlikely to be the official name. Thanks!
Trying this fancy cross-post function for the first time:...

…and I finally found one, so here it is! Love the coloration of this one - such a beauty!...
First time we tried it., but it seems to have gone well - looking forward to them growing quickly (the teacher said most people are really surprised at how fast grafted cacti grow)....
Went to a couple of succulent shops and farms today to get some rootstock for my grafting experiments (cue evil scientist laugh), but they didn’t have any for sale, so I got these instead :)...
