P. jaumavensis, P. esseriana, P. reticulata

P. jaumavensis, P. reticulata

P. esseriana, P. "1713"

P. ehlersiae, P. 'Pirouette'

P. moranensis x ehlersiae "Garden store 'Weser'"

(just for reference here it is in January)

P. agnata x gypsicola

This was given to me as P. 'Titan' but it looks to me like P. 'Aphrodite' or at least P. agnata x moctezumae

Wow! Very nice and healthy pings. It looks like you are using aquatic plant soil for most of them. Is it a mix or pure APS?

Pure APS with a thin layer of long fiber sphagnum on the bottom. The P. cyclosecta and P. debbertiana I got from pingman and looks like a mix of sand and APS but he uses pure APS too. The P. agnata x gypsicola I bought potted and looks like a mix of peat, perlite/pumice, vermiculite, sand and who knows what else.

I've only had it a couple weeks so the credit goes to Ron West and his nursery. How it will continue to do in my conditions remains to be seen

I want one of the gypsicola x one, is it rare though, I suppose?

Very nice Pings, I like all of them

And All of my Mexician Pings using APS are growing very well, except P.gypsicola. I guessed it does not like the APS (neutral) is not alkaline enough

It's another one of Leo Song's crosses from California State University Fullerton and at one time was quite common in stores in the US.

Those are all nice looking plants, Does your cyclosecta spend alot of the year in a winter rosette? I have had my cyclosecta for 3 years and it has never produced a winter rosette yet. The debbertiana is awesome looking, i have not had the pleasure of growing one yet, but after looking at yours i am going to have to find one. Thanks for sharing the pics, and great photography.

I don't recall when it phased into the winter leaves but it cycled through more quickly than any of the others I have. The P. esseriana is still in transition. A few of them the succulent leaves would transform to spring/summer leaves. Others would just start growing summer leaves.

I should have done more pullings on the P. debbertiana. The one that I did had multiple plantlets but is down to only one now.
