Aside from growing SO FAST (they are all one clump now), they are blooming and have two different color flowers. So now I have one big baby toes plant with white AND peach flowers ~ I love this plant! And she apparently loves Huntington Beach, Ca.
This pretty hates to be overwatered. Mine produces white flowers in early winter. Mine is potted outdoors and if I expect more than a...Read More shower, I put a plastic bag over it, for fear it will rot.

Mine flowers all summer and fall, nearly til winter. Doesn't grow much, though. A 3" clump pretty much stays a 3" clump for a year or so.... probably grows a bit, but not that I can tell.

This one is doing the best by far - it has at least two open blooms now, with about 4-6 more getting ready to go. I learned that Wmart gets their plants from Kactus Korner (www.kactus.com - they sell wholesale only,) and I can honestly say that most of them are doing just fine, but none were identified, which I found quite annoying. Cheap though! $1.19 - 2,99 each for 2-4 inch pots. Of course this will not be hardy in my zone, but I am looking forward to moving them indoors for the winter to see if I can keep them alive!
