Lewisia Babies

At the end of summer I bought 3 quite large Lewisia plants. As they had lots of little ‘rosettes’ I thought I’d have a go at propagation by carefully pulling them off the other plant and potting up into 50.50 multi purpose potting compost and horticultural grit.
They were then put into an unheated greenhouse and kept almost dry.
These are the results. It now remains to be seen whether they flower or not…I’ll let you know!

They look really healthy, maybe the small ones will wait until next year to flower, interesting to see.....

That's brilliant Waddy . . . well done. Discovered yesterday that my lone Lewisia had shrivelled: I don't think they like my garden!
