These Cheiridopsis are new tenants on my windowsill. Thanks to Bob Stewart for pointing out that their proper new name is Ch. denticulata. :) I'm always very excited to grow new Mesembs so I'm looking forward to hopefully not killing them. These are winter growers and I'm still not sure about the watering schedule. It says you start watering in the fall when the old leaves have dried up and the new ones emerge. As I understand the old leaves are almost digested on these plants. But am I allowed to water them before fall or not? Many things to figure out... At the moment I just enjoy the view: beautiful velvety leaves with slightly see-through tips, very unusual rib-like shape and the shining cyan blue color.
