Kalanchoe x houghtonii or Kalanchoe daigremontiana plantlets?

You have some very nice Haworthia (what a surprise...). Don't you have problems with fungus with the plants growing into each other?

Good morning Jose,

of course you are absolutely right - Kalanchoe daigremontiana.

The Haworthia have no problems with mold or other fungal diseases.
They live mostly at the outdoor-dining.
In winter in a badly heated draughty greenhouse. The draft is important, I think.

Years ago I had the Haworthia, it was a sudden onset of winter, placed in a cool room of my company.
Unfortunately, I had no way to bring it to another location. All greenhouses full!
There they stood the whole winter. In the spring, 50% was rotten.
Haworthia need fresh air and wind.
If they grow into thick lumps that does not matter. . .

Best wishes

K.W.

Today there is art, blurred is supposed to be in.
I saw that in the photos of one of the world's biggest photographers.

One should not only eat a lot on holidays, a little culture is also good.

Many holidays, a lot of culture. . .
The Roman-Germanic Museum in Cologne.
It will be closed for a renovation, on 30.12.2018 is the last day.
The administration in Cologne is very, very bad. . .
I do not expect that I will experience the reopening. . .

The museum was built over the Dionysus mosaic. About 2000 years ago there was a Roman villa.
