Maybe indoors with air conditioning, and artificially short daylengths?? Among the compact mesembs, <i>Lithops</i> seem to be especially amenable to hot, humid greenhouse conditions (much more so than the strict winter mesembs, anyway).Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192660491064861917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109390741389284924.post-54525196556047650292010-01-05T09:04:32.625-05:002010-01-05T09:04:32.625-05:00Hi.

In any case, have you heard of anybody attempting to grow these (or other mesembs for that matter) on a tropical country? I've been wanting to try growing mesembs for quite sometime now, but I'm always thing it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Any pointers? Haha.

At the moment, Silverhill has <i>D. luckhoffii</i> seed right now, and Mesa Garden has the other species, <i>D. retroversum</i>.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192660491064861917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5109390741389284924.post-90047208614240539022009-12-27T00:38:31.850-05:002009-12-27T00:38:31.850-05:00Ooooh...this thing is absolutely fascinating, Matt...Ooooh...this thing is absolutely fascinating, Matt! Great description of it's cells and watering needs, etc. Awesome that you have cultivated it from seed and have gotten such a wonderous bloom!!! I am seriously impressed! I don't think I would undertake it at all. But then again...I wouldn't have been able to as of yet, since I've never been anywhere near South Africa, sadly!!! :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402220963886597754noreply@blogger.com
