Here's a few of my babies flowering at the moment, wish I had taken pictures when the other flowers were open. I already posted pictures of most of my collection on the thread I posted titled "thought I'd share pix of my addiction...um..collection" if you'd like to view more of my pix you can check them out there

KittieKAT, you have a nice variety of cacti. How did you get them to flower?

KittieKAT · Fri Jun 27, 2014 2:29 pm

Not really sure how I got Them to flower LOL they just kinda flowered! Good sunlight, good watering, I give them plant food every once in a while, and I talk to them a lot....hehee!!

KittieKAT · Fri Jun 27, 2014 3:20 pm

I got about 13 buds that are about to open any day now on my little rebutia !!

KittieKAT · Fri Jun 27, 2014 3:24 pm

Some updates

Sweyn · Sat Jun 28, 2014 10:35 am

They look very impressive. How often do you feed them? Do use a combined, cacti and succulent fertiliser?

KittieKAT · Sat Jun 28, 2014 1:42 pm

I'm kinda iffy when it comes to feeding my plant's I always think I'm gonna kill them! I usually do it every 4-5 watering I dilute it in a spray bottle with purified water, sink water is to harsh for plant's let alone human beings! Its a MG cacti+succulent plant food, (Which is why I'm kinda resistant to using it) I spray a little on then I water with regular water the next few times the soil is dry. I JUST lost a bid off of one of my flowering cacti cause someone thought it was a fluffy bug (SMH

)
So kinda upset about that! But my rebutia decided that it was gonna make up for its fellow cacti losing a bud by opening another flower for ME and showing me a promise for another one to open at any time, it still has 11 more buds to open on it!

You've done very well. I hadn't heard of using spray bottles on them. The plants and flowers look very good.

Please post your advice about flowering, here https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/vi ... 38&t=57989 It would help me and anyone else who wants to know, to have advice about it, in one thread. Thanks.

Woke up this morning to this little view!

newfangl3d · Wed Jul 02, 2014 8:41 am

Very pretty!

pow wow · Wed Jul 02, 2014 9:31 am

My sister gave me a few to put in my garden last year. They survived the winter well.

KittieKAT · Wed Jul 02, 2014 2:11 pm

Saw this guy trying to open up completely soon today

david90531 · Wed Jul 02, 2014 10:28 pm

I'm quite new to the world of succulents. But here's what I've got so far~ most of these plants are acquired in the past month. I live in an apartment so only have a window sill so can't get too many plants

My DIY dish garden

Most of my plants lined up

A few new ones

Today's Beautiful flowers that opened!

david90531 · Mon Jul 07, 2014 5:50 pm

Awesome! I wonder when I'll see my first bloom... at this rate it seems like my lithops from local nursery will bloom first! It seems like a weird time for it to bloom, no?

KittieKAT · Wed Jul 09, 2014 5:38 pm

super excited about this one!!!
My hurina zebrina finally opened last night and today it looks beautiful

david90531 · Wed Jul 09, 2014 5:47 pm

omg awesome!

That's one plant I really want just for the crazy flowers, but haven't had the luck to run into..

KittieKAT · Wed Jul 09, 2014 11:33 pm

Yea the flowers are hard and kinda feel like wax, I swear I could smell cherry when it opened but then again I could have just been hungry for a lifesaver candy lol!

KittieKAT · Tue Jul 15, 2014 1:50 pm

aloe opened sum of its little bells!

david90531 · Tue Jul 15, 2014 3:27 pm

Wow @Kittie it's flowering season for you for sure!

My anacampseros tried to flower but only bloomed half way

But I had my first succulent flower this week with my Lithops!

ReptileAddiction · Sat Jul 19, 2014 11:47 pm

Here is one of my succulent bowls. It has euphorbia tirucalli, echeveria, sedum, and other random succulents.

Edit: Sorry for the low picture quality. The original looks much better...

Edit: Fixed picture quality.

KittieKAT · Tue Jul 22, 2014 7:14 pm

Yes it's Deff flowering season for me, I still got a bunch of buds about to open on most of my collection, but I gatta admit this one caugh me by surprise and flowered outta no where! My f. Tuberculosa Deff surprised me last night!!

KittieKAT · Wed Jul 30, 2014 9:35 pm

here's a few pics of my son to be blooming plants, unfortunately I don't have enough memory on my phone to take pics of all the plants budding and about to bloom

david90531 · Thu Jul 31, 2014 12:56 am

So many! It must be hard to catch all of them.
Here's my Pleiospilos nelii 'Royal Flush', it's been in bloom since Friday, still going strong..maybe another few days

DDMcKenna · Thu Jul 31, 2014 5:35 am

Well, I'll say it. I love those fingernails KittieKAT, and your plants are amazing!

KittieKAT · Sat Aug 02, 2014 4:04 pm

Haha thank you

Unfortunately, the guy down stairs decided he was gonna a sneak on my Sun porch to see my plants and thought it would be a good idea to "Squash" my big flower bud right before it opened, so disappointed. I was really excited about seeing that one open...this is all that's left of the beautiful bloom it was going to be :'(

And here's some semps in bloom

Britt035 · Sat Aug 02, 2014 10:19 pm

I am loving these flowers this year, the first time we've had them and I'm hoping we get them again next year.

The tag that came with it is MIA but after some searching I'm pretty confident in the fact that it is definitely called a Moss Rose. At least, I hope I'm right about that.

KittieKAT · Mon Aug 04, 2014 5:10 pm

here's a few popping up!

KittieKAT · Thu Aug 07, 2014 3:44 pm

Noticed this last-night

KittieKAT · Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:01 pm

Here's some recent flowers I've had

Rose bloom · Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:24 pm

Beautiful! Bravo, KittieKAT!

. I'm so jealous!
