Both parents of this Ray Lemieux cross of Hechtia lanata x myriantha have some interesting characteristics that should express themselves when the plants grow out. The seed parent, H. lanata, has broad, scurfy, twisting and curling leaves in habitat, which is a tropical desert environment on nutrient poor cliffs.
In cultivation, seedlings of this species tend to have straighter foliage, at least here in sea-level Florida. The pollen parent, H. myriantha, is a giant grower, perhaps the largest of all Hechtia species. Anecdotal stories report that this plant can reach the size of a VW Beetle! The intent of this cross was to produce a large growing hybrid with twisted foliage and silvery scurf. Only time will tell if that will happen.

Rick B. Great cross. I got this specimen in July, 2021 and set it in a wide pot. So far it’s more than tripled in size and is beginning to overflow the edges of the pot (as in this picture from this past January). It’s been in full sun and doing well - the color does change here with the season (ranging from more red to more green as the angle of the sun changes), but that seems to be typical for several of my Hechtia specimens. Definitely recommend.

A hybrid from Q Dyckia in Thailand. The parentage is Hechtia and Dyckia but the Hechtia characteristics are not seen. The inflorescence is like your typical Dyckia. Grows to 12 inches across. The leaves are narrow and armed with large spines. The leaf color is a glossy black and the spines are white. Grow in full sun to get optimum color.

Solweig R. Anything I ever ordered from Tropiflora always arrives promptly and in good shape, including this X Dycktia 'Satit 18', which looks very impressive but still cute. I love it! BTW - I also like to add here that if you ever have a question about a plant purchase - even acquired months ago - you will get a prompt answer from the very friendly staff.
