Presentation: Ice Plants for the cool grower.
This talk will look at several Mesemb species closely comparing cultivation with habitat, and concentrating on what we can earn from habitat that will help us in cultivation. In particular we will look at Lithops, Conophytum and Cheiridopsis which all grow over wide regions of South Africa and Namibia and are particularly popular on show tables and home collections. We will also take a look and several genera that are not widely grown, but should be. Cultivation and propagation will conclude the presentation.
