It was very hot, very crowded and yet still worth it - finally got not just one, but both known species of Aztekium without going bankrupt - I wanted one for a long while, but they tend to be stupid expensive in Japan.

Love the two cute jellybeans too - Conophytum burgeri. Hell, love all of them, that’s why I bought too many yet again :)

    Love them! I always look forward to your posts :) I’d love to see pics of your collection - seems like it’s quite large! …and maybe some pics of the Tokyo succulents show(s) - have always wondered what a succulent show looks like and we don’t really have many in Minnesota :/

      Thank you so much! The show had no photos policy unfortunately, but I might snap some pics of my collection later. It’s pretty chaotic and disorganized, and my veranda is a mess to boot, but maybe I can find some angles that are semi-presentable :)

      I’m not a pro at this at all though - just a tryhard who loves weird plants and keeps getting more and more, even though some of them keep dying on him :(

        I feel it - I’m the same way! Some of them look so cool but are just tough to keep alive.

          Right? Managed to kill too many Pseudolithos to admit, but I love them so much I keep trying to grow them… Knock on wood, my current indoor setup with a lamp seems to be working, so here’s hoping there are no more poor Pseudolithos victims of my ineptitude in the future :)

    Those are so neat! 😍

    Not familiar with any of them, but they look so cool! Do you keep them this small, or let them take over their pots/containers? (I’m never sure if I should be pruning them, so they kind of take over their containers… and when I do prune something it usually ends up as a clone instead of being thrown out.)
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I also let them grow freely in general. If they multiply I will split them into extra pots when re-potting, but they’re all too cute to throw out.
