Does anyone have any they'd sell or trade? If so, what kind?
Might not be the best time of year to ship, so I'm okay waiting.

Re: Wanted: Lenophyllum
I've not acquired any Lenophyllum for my collection yet, but I have purchased some other stone-crops from these 2 vendors, and can report that their plants are healthy:

Re: Wanted: Lenophyllum
@Tom in Tucson Awesome, Thanks for the recommendations! Will look into them
In addition to L. guttatum, I would also like to try L. texanum (for cold tolerance) and some others as well, so if anyone has access to others reach out to me please.

Re: Wanted: Lenophyllum
Lenophyllum texanum grows as a weed in my collection. The leaves fall off just about everywhere, and there are new plants growing in almost all of my pots. I think that it would be quite difficult to ship L. texanum (the leaves fall off at the slightest touch), so the only way to acquire the species might be through seed or leaf propagations.
Growing in Zone 9b, Mediterranean climate.

Good to know, thanks! If you ever are able to ship some broken off leaves, I would cover shipping.Aeonium2003 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 8:26 am Lenophyllum texanum grows as a weed in my collection.

There are some plant swap pages in FB, maybe I can find someone who has some.
Someone on reddit found some (not texanum) growing in a crack in the wall at their school in Houston. That was kind of cool.

Re: Wanted: Lenophyllum
Let me know if you are still looking for texanum by this summer (by then my plants should be in full swing).

As a side note, I just saw some awesome lenophyllum x graptopetalum hybrids, if you are looking for some more plants along those lines. Some beautiful red colors. One person with it said it is hard to grow and rarely available in the US (I am seeing them in Italy a lot, though). If I find some that become available, I will try to remember to share link on here in case others want in on them, too. Hopefully I can get some and do some propagating and eventually have some to trade on here, too.

I am pretty sure that the xLenopetalum is variegated form of xLenopetalum 'Chocolate'.

I would be interested if you manage to acquire one. Thanks.
