Sometimes we fear a desaster for being too bold:
This magnific Dyckia hebdingii presents a dilemma to me:
Transfer it to a pot of its own or leave it where it is.
Some Dyckias when adult really hate to be transfered.
I have to do so ´cause it is going to bloom in September/October
and I want to keep them apart to try a self fertilization.
Dyckias hebdingii are fine plants but a specimen so silver/blue is very hard to find.
In nature these specimens are close to an unpaved road so the plants are all covered
by dust. Plants from this area showed this kind of color and they are absolutely rare.
Those plants never pups and in nature they produce many sprouts after the attack of an insect
that destroys the growing point of the plant.
