Hi Jeff,
Yes, I like P. gypsicola too. Unfortunately, this is a species that I have killed twice before. I think I kept it a little too wet during dormancy. Do you keep yours "bone dry" at this time?
Happy Growing,
Brian.

Hi Jeff, nice plants.  Are they getting any additional light? Best regards, Dani |

Hi Jeff,
Nice looking plants!
Brian: The same thing happened to me, they really like it bone dry.
Good Growing,
Max

I grow these one but also all my mexican and some temperate in mineral calcareous soil.
for these one I add also gypsum .
two others filiform are also interessant P.medusinae and P.heterophylla
I grow these one in spring and summer sometimes in autumn outside under a tree to have shade , and no rain on the leaves , they have nevertheless in the beginning of morning the sun light , waterring just all the 15 days .
in winter they are in my garage in good light ( here to LEMANS in front of a south window ) but allways the soil dry , to have a winter roset .
I apply the same method for the others filiform.
