cobweb

This image showcases a striking cluster of cobweb succulents, commonly known for their unique, web-like filaments covering the rosettes of their leaves. The delicate white threads, which give them the "cobweb" name, can be a sign of optimal growing conditions, where the plant is receiving adequate light and air circulation. These succulent plants are a great addition to any collection due to their fascinating textures and forms.

For the seasoned succulent grower, it’s important to note that while cobweb succulents may look delicate, they are surprisingly resilient, thriving in well-draining soil and under moderate sunlight. Overwatering is a common issue, so it's essential to ensure the soil is completely dry before watering again. These plants benefit from a dormant period in cooler months, which helps maintain their compact form and prevents rot. Regularly pruning dead or dying leaves can also improve airflow and reduce fungal risk.

If you're looking to propagate your cobweb succulents, be mindful of their slow growth rate and take cuttings from the healthiest rosettes for best results.

This is a beautiful Spider Plant, a popular choice for indoor spaces due to its air-purifying qualities and easy care. Known for its long, arching leaves with striking green and white stripes, it adds a touch of elegance to any room. Spider plants are also considered succulent plants(plantorbit.com/collections/succulent-plants), making them low-maintenance and perfect for those who may not have a green thumb. Place this plant near a bright window, and watch it thrive with minimal attention—ideal for busy homes or office spaces.

Exploring the Chisos Mountains, Part 10: Desert Succulent, Desert Soil | Big Bend National Park, Texas, USA

Taken in the Basin, along the Window Trail.

This splendidly spiny fellow, a Havard Agave (Agave havardiana), belongs to a species that is a common sight in the Chisos Mountains. As a succulent plant, it has adapted to very dry desert conditions by having special water-retaining tissues.

But that's not all. It also belongs to one of the groups of plants that has developed an amazing biochemical system known as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism. For obvious reasons, this is often shortened to CAM.

Most plants do their photosynthetic work wholly during the day: they absorb light in their cells' chloroplasts and also open their stomata (leaf pores) to give off water vapor and take in fresh supplies of carbon dioxide. This water-loss process is known as transpiration. I realize that this term sounds like a meditational breathing technique, but it isn't, unless plants are even more Zen than I already think.

This normal type of transpiration is a particularly wasteful form of water management, but in regions where moisture is abundant, the lack of efficiency usually doesn't matter.

In CAM plants, however, the opening of the stomata is delayed till nighttime. At that point the air temperature is much cooler, and the requisite amount of carbon dioxide is obtained with a much more modest loss of water.

As I mentioned in Part 8 of this set, members of the genus Agave also have a distinctly devil-may-care lifestyle. They sprout, grow to maturity, live for a number of years, and finally decide to flower—just once. In doing so, they create great ascending, branched inflorescences that are masterpieces of architecture in their own right. Once the flowers have set fruit, though, the plant dies; it has completely shot its bolt. One such ex-Havard Agave can be seen fallen over in the background of my Part 8 image.

The plant shown here was, on the other hand, still very much alive when I photographed it on this exposed bank of Aridisol (the USDA soil-order classification for this kind of stony desert substrate).

It looks as though a lot of the rock fragments in the soil are limestone, so I suspect the soil here has a high pH level and is therefore quite alkaline. That presents no problem for A. havardiana. It's adapted to that, too.
