Dyckia 'Picante'

The growth point has split! It's going two-headed!

It's also got a couple of pups that I failed to remove when I up-potted it last.

I wanted to take the pups off of these dickias but the root balls were too tough and I didn’t want to stress them too much when it’s this cold (though I do keep them indoors). I settled for up-potting them and removing some of the dead leaves.

Dyckia (probably brevifolia, 縞剣山) that I got for free from a gardening store because of sun damage in 2023 (first pic)

Versus now, two years later 📈🎉

Dyckia are just so fucking metal

Dyckias doing nicely

Actually I should say my dyckias are also doing well, but they seem so indestructible that I can’t imagine them being damaged by the heat. They’re like the plant equivalent of tardigrades.

My dream aloe in hand, I was struck by a need for dyckia 😏

Dyckia marnier-lapostollei. Gorgeous flecked white skin, vicious spines, graceful curves 🤩
