User Owned Plant How is this for a substrate/pot combination for my Elephantipes? I am trying to revive the caudex after some troubles.
The substrate is 100% mineral with 1 part pumice, 1 part lava rocks and 1 part zeolite. There is also slow release plant food in there.
Alternatively I can put it in cactus soil with 1 part coco coir,1 part worm castings, 3.5 parts perlite, 3 parts pumice, 0.5 part horticultural sand, A little bit of activated carbon and a little bit of lava gravel & Organic nutrients.
And then in plastic or terra cotta, for now I thought very fast draining in plastic.

Is this a reliable source for Dioscorea elephantipes seeds?
If not, does anyone have recommendations for affordable sources that ship to the US?
Dioscorea half rotted advise
Need some advice on what to do with this dioscorea elephantipes. It had rot on one side and I quickly hit it with fungicide and allowed it to dry up. Now one side is dead/rotted and the other side is hard with no signs of rot advancing to it. What should i do to try and save it? It is oozing when i press on the rotted side.

I have recently started working at a botanical conservatory. Here is one of if not the most variegated welwitschias kept in a conservatory! Thought I’d share this lovely plant!

An old plant in my collection, I'm unsure about reducing the length of the 'arms'

This summer has been brutal and I think it’s the hardest my Othonna Euphorbioides has slept but it’s finally waking up with temperatures finally cooling off.
OC: original content Ant ferns in a terrarium
I’m a caudex plant collector, and I’m now planning to build a terrarium for subtropical caudex plants, particularly Lecanopteris species.
Does anyone have any experience with this, and would anyone be willing to share some example photos?
Thanks in advance!

Dioscorea mexicana salvageable?
So it has been dormant for a little longer than usual and when I went to check it today about 1/4 of the top seemed to be less dense than the other half. Was easily able to tease it out of its cactus mix and academa. There are a few fresh small healthy roots.
Pic 1 and 2 are the sections that you can tap that sound hollow but not if you tap from the bottom. Pic 2 on the top the roots pretty much fell apart as I lifted. No seepage but there does appear to be a small crack in pic 3.
Thanks in advance

OC: original content Hawaiian cabbage palm (Brighamia insignis) in bud!
Unfortunately technically extinct in the wild due to the extinction of its primary pollinator (fabulous green sphinx moth) it survives today due to climbers hand pollinating the few remaining wild specimens as well as in cultivation. The flowers have a honeysuckle like smell!

Dorstenia gigas
Anyone in SoCal growing these outdoors or in a greenhouse year round? I have a D. foetida that lives in the greenhouse year round and is fine but the gigas was considerably more expensive and I want to make sure it’ll be ok through Winter.
