Hi! No doubt the plant is beautifu l and it will get even better as time passes by. Dyckias get prettier with age. This may be a Brazilian hybrid. A plant originated form such and such plant but the mother plant may be part of a collection and colection have many plants at bloom at the very same tim...

The vast majority of Dyckias species is self fertile. They may produce fruits and fertile seeds using their own pollen. We also say they are auto-compatible plants. Also these very same plants adore strange Dyckia pollen. They love to love strangers! they are self fertile and auto-compatible and als...

Thank you.You are king and gentle just this. I know you are there. The blog is a document where I show what is in my garden. Later I want to show nature or plants in nature. All this is part of a major project. A book: The Alluring Dyckias . Guess it would be usefull to all Dyckia lovers. In the blo...

Liberté, égalité, fraternité: toujours! Do not get so admired. At that time Cerrad Dyckia were for nothing, were nothing to wotha a second look at. Bush men wandered that region looking for cacti and orchids. Some German and also some Brazilian bushmen. Dyckias are yet not known! We just lifted the ...

Yes this is Dyckia grandidentata (big toothed Dyckia). I have seem Dyckia with much bigger teeth so why grandidentata? Some non described really big toothed ones must be gigantodentata? I think these teeth are not big enough to be grandidentata but.....what goes on in ones mind...... Yes, this is a ...

Dearest Joachin I think otherwisely: - Many Dyckias here,(and when I say this most Dyckias lovers get sad),are so grass like they are only obvious or conspicuous when flowering. I do not want them! I call them "capinzentas"or something like grass like ones. So, not all Dyckia hybrids or tr...

Thanks! You do not even imagine all the difficulties left behind here. The language is the least of them. Our climate is good but everything else is absolutely dificult to achive here, substrate, fertilizers, pesticides and above all the absolute lack of knowledge concerning to Dyckias. We have to p...

I invite you to trip to Brazil right now and stroll around my Dyckia Garden. Here I try to show you some of my timid work in Dyckia cultivation and understanding. Brazil wilderness guards many more Dyckias species than tells you science and the common sense. You will see old ones and recent discover...

The plant is locked by a hundred locks. A wonderful plant that likes bright sun differently from the others ordinary Crypts. This plant is a wonder of the jungle. A Real plant from the end of the rainbow. A have one from Japan that decided not to cooperate and I guess It is slowly but decidely sayin...

:D Dearest Tim and all of u all around the globe. Thanks for the knowledge u all let me get into during this year. Knowledge is the Light we all must praise. Thank you all. Now I am very happy ´cause two friends, met in this forum, are travelling half the planet to meet me and to see some Dyckias in...

Almost all Dyckias split in too much water. t seems it is not just too much water but also too much nitrogen and this two factors altogether, combined, leads to the leave spliting. In nature this plant lives as a reofitic one. They have to cope with very harsh situations and may be under water for w...

I know almost nothing about Hechtias. In fact I have just two species H. rosea and H. marnier and that is it. My thing are Dyckias but after all I like Hechtias. Just the Orthophytum drives me out of my mind ´cause they get out of good shape after u had done all the best to culture them....all of a ...

Sanga your plants bear all the good qualities a s very good Dyckia seedling may have! do not any culling but try to maintain them or give them to someone who cares. They have a very good shape and architeture. A good structured Dyckia may be hard to find. They are perfectly round and lovely to the e...

Chanin: I got astonished here by and for what I knew and will tell you in details. The very begining: About two years ago I was crazy and mad about some Dyckia species from our Cerrado. I came to know by e.mail a famous worldwide Cerrado plants collector. I had some terrifically rare Dyckias from th...

Hi my friend from Australia. This is worth reading and seeing. That Australian hibrid may have Lad Cutak (an American hibrid of Mr. Ladislau Cutak) blood or even maybe a F2 or F ............just Lord knows. But look those pictures of my garden and plants from the same procedence just a year older. A...
