I have 2 very nice 10 and 12 inch rooted leaves of orchid cactus. I would like to trade them for other succulents. I am really wanting some Echeveria but would consider other things. The orchid cactus came to me in a (cactus for postage trade) and I misunderstood what I was getting..these are to big for me to grow in the house, I have such limited space. So anyone interested let me know I am onlyh trading for other cactus or succulents at this time.

Hi RiverRock,

Any idea of which kind they are or what color they bloom? I have 3 rooted cuttings of "Firesticks" pencil cactus--they also get very large with time, but root so easily you could simply root a small branch and give away the plant once it got too big.

My daughter is having a baby in Oct, and the juice from all euphorbias is enough of an eye irritant that I'm wanting to find homes for these.

It blooms pink but I dont know the name of it. Very pretty.

I would like to stay with somthing smaller that I will not have to give away later..I want to eventually have mature blooming size plants. I am also trying to stay away from the Euphorbias becase they are so caustic.

RR, I was told today that it is verigated peperomia.
I know that it roots easily.

Stumbled across some nice jade plant cuttings (the High School has a green house, and with school out the plants that hadn't been sold would've fried indoors, so they were giving them away).

I actually imagine you have jade already, but thought I'd offer.
