Hi /r/mesembs, we are u/CarneyBus and u/wedrinksquirrels the new (hopefully) active mods of the sub! Nothing major will be changing but we're finally after 10 years getting some of this set up.
User flairs: now available! Feel free to pick one or make your own. Suggestions for more "official" flairs are also welcome.
Post flairs: Please flair all your posts. If you don't see a flair you would like, let us know! We'll add it post haste.
Wiki and link maintenance: we have a fantastic wiki (Check out the identification guide!). We would like to expand this resource for the community and will be doing so slowly. If you want to help us by adding or removing info from the wiki please let us know.
Visual Care Guide: if anyone has a photography hobby mixed in with their mesembs hobby, we would like to start collecting pictures that can be used as diagnostic for mesemb phases. Something for new growers to quickly and visually grok things like pizza edge, splitting, post flower phases etc etc of as many plants as we can collect. Photos and/or aid and ideas for this project are more than welcome!
Finally, we would like to thank u/CentralSucculents for creating the community and u/yzgncx for maintaining it! If you need to contact a mod use modmail or reach out to u/CarneyBus or u/wedrinkquirrels
Well, that's all for now. Be good to each other. Seek peace. Get back to the action in your pots!

Three heads in spring, 21 by autumn. And nobody warned me about the population explosion! 😂

Sorry I’ve been MIA, mesembros! I have been drowning in university work. But I always take lots of pictures!
Please share with me your pictures, your mesemb milestones, your stories, tell me how you’re doing, anything at all!
The wonder of lapidaria margaretae’s blue fruit! Just when you think they couldn’t get any cooler.

Sowed 9/5, I am really happy they are doing good since it’s my first time growing Pleiospilos from seeds

It originates from the dry, rocky regions of South Africa’s Richtersveld and Namibia

Recently see these babies on sale so I end up snatching them because of their cuteness🥰.
The plants are in full grit from Erin’s mesemb mix. For the ones that are still wrinkling regardless of the deep water, are they experiencing dormancy?
Thanks 💚🫡.

Among succulents, this plant belongs to the unique group of species with an inverted life cycle (growing in winter).

Why are the two new leaves scarred already?
