Monk Posted April 20, 2007 My scelly tortuosum is planted in a deco pot with some Trichs. It's doing great in a fast draining mix watered daily to every 3 days depending on the weather. I'd say I let the top inch of soil dry between waterings(in an 8x12x8 pot.) Under that, there is moisture, but it's not 'wet.' I wouldn't keep any plant of this type 'wet,' personally. A wet/dry cycle is advisable. Happy gardening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted April 20, 2007 free draining and freely water over winter. feed it too with liquid ferts - youll be amazed by the yields on patch i grew which was maybe 2 metres square yielded 14kg fresh herbage in one harvest which made nearly 1/2 kg of finished product basic rule of thumb is 25-28kg fresh herb = 1kg processed herb i tell you this cos ive done my dash with scelly growing commerially. biomass is easy. but its a lot of work to process that 14kg to finished product you are proud to say is ur finest theres easier herbs out there to wildcraft and simply dry so have a go its an autumn and spring grower like a lot of mesembs leave it dry over summer but if its a mild summer itll grow all year around in winter itll take at least -5C without damage plant april to june, harvest november as it starts flowering need stock? ill gladly make you tubestock of it all proceeds to charity email me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rev Posted April 20, 2007 20 plants in a tray more trays = less price of course lets say one tray gets you $2.50 a pot its just a herb afterall and just a succulent no need to price it special again i reiterate - group buys and wholesale only no multiple shipping arrangments made! if you need any Legal herb propagated for that matter, cheaply for whatever gain you have in mind contact me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
